NOTICE. 


The  aim  of  the  compilers  of  this  work  has  been  to  make  it  as  complete  as  pos- 
sible, and  to  that  end  the  managements  of  all  principal  railroads  were  requested  to 
furnish  copies  of  their  regulations  governing  employeh  in  train  and  yard  service, 
and  the  rates  of  pay,  etc.  Nothing  has  been  included  which  is  not  official  or  a 
copy  of  an  official  schedule.  In  instances  where  schedules  included  rates  and  rules 
for  enginemen  those  rates  and  rules  have  been  omitted  as  this  is  intended  only  for 
train  and  yard  employes'  schedules. 

This  work  is  gotten  out  not  as  an  advertisement,  or  with  the  hope  of  realiz- 
ing a  money  profit  therefrom,  but  as  a  book  of  reference. 

Supplements  to  this  work  will  be  issued  from  time  to  time  as  important  changes 
in  rates,  etc.,  shall  make  it  cecesr^ary. 

Copies  of  this  work  can  be  supplied  to  those  wanting  them  at  |1^  per  copy. 
Address: 

GRAND  SECRETARY  O.  R.  C,  Cedar  Rapids,  la.

should  the  service,  in  the  judgment  of  the  company,  demand  it. 

Rights  of  trainmen  will  be  confined  to  their  respective  districts,  and  on  trarrrn- 
running  over  more  than  one  district,  each  will  furnish  its  proportion  of  men.  The 
transfer  of  rights  will  not  be  permitted. 

Yard  employes  and  passenger  brakemen  will  have  no  rights  in  freight  service. 

This  rule  shall  not  operate  to  reduce  the  rights  any  trainman  now  holds. 

Crews  will  be  confined  to  their  respective  districts,  except  in  case  of  emergencv.. 

Xo  more  trainmen  will  be  retained  in  service  than  necessary  to  move  the  trartic 
with  promptness. 

L").  Re.st.  After  continuous  serx-ice  of  sixteen  hours,  trainmen  will  be  allowed 
eight  hours  for  rest  before  being  called  to  go  out,  provided  they  so  desire. 

10.  SrsPENSioN.  When  a  trainman  is  suspended  for  an  alleged  fault,  no  pun- 
ishment will  be  fixed  without  a  thorough  investigation  at  which  the^  accused,  with 
an  employe  of  his  choice  to  assist  him,  may  be  present.  Ordinarily  such  investi- 
gation will  be  held  within  three  days  from  date  of  suspension;  if  found  innocent  he 
will  be  reinstated  and  paid  for  the  time  lost. 

17.  REDrciNc,  Crews.  In  reducing  the  number  of  crews,  the  youngest  crew  in 
service  will  be  suspended.  Conductors  temporarilv  suspended  will  retain  their 
rights  as  conductors,  but  will  not  hold  rights  as  a  brakeman  over  those  older  in 
the  ser\-ice. 

18.  Service  Letter.  Trainmen  leaving  the  service  will  be  promptly  furnished 
with  service  letter.

such  ser\'ice  at  road  rates,  viz:  ten  miles  pc*  hoar,  no  allowance  to  be  made  for 
less  than  one  hour.  At  terminal  stations  where  switch  engines  are  not  regularly 
employed,  no  time  will  be  allowed  tor  switching,  unless  the  time  consumed  in 
doing  the  necessary  switching  and  making  a  run  or  one  hundred  miles  exceeds  ten 
hours.  All  time  in  excess  or  ten  hours,  in  such  cases,  will  be  paid  for  at  road 
rates,  viz:  ten  miles  per  hour. 

14.  At  terinina)  or  division  stations  where  callers  are  employed,  they  shall  call 
trainmen  as  nearly  as  practicable  one  hour  before  leaving  time  of  trains,  provided

caller's  book  will  state  the  leaving  time  of  trains  and  the  men  who  are  called  shall, 
in  each  instance,  register  their  names  together  with  the  time  at  which  they  are 
called.  In  computing  overtime,  time  of  men  will  begin  at  time  specified  m  the 
caller's  book  for  the  train  to  leave. 

15.  In  cases  where  trains  are  abandoned,  trainmen  having  been  called,  they

divisions,  shall  be  kept  down  to  correspond  with  the  volume  of  business,  so  that 
they  may  make  not  less  than  at  the  rate  of  2,600  miles  per  month. 

19.  Promotions  will  be  based  upon  the  faithful  aischarge  of  duties,  capacity 
for  increased  responsibility  and  fitness  for  the  position,  to  be  determined  by  the 
Superintendent.  As  a  rule,  promotions  to  freight  conductors  are  to  be  made  from 
freight  brakemen  and  passenger  conductors  from  freight  conductors.  The  com- 
pany at  all  times  reserves  the  right  to  hire  as  many  experienced  men  outside  of  its 
own  service  as  in  the  judgment  of  the  Superintendent  it  may  seem  desirable,  or  to 
transfer  men  from  one  division  to  another,  whenever  the  business  of  the  company 
may  require  it.  In  case  a  trainman  is  transferred  from  one  division  to  another, 
the  same  standing  on  the  first  division  shall  be  maintained  upon  his  return. 

20.  Actual  mileage  will  be  allowed  for  doubling  hills,  provided  trains  are 
thereby  delayed  over  ten  hours  in  making  a  run  of  one  hundred  miles.  No  allow- 
ance will  be  made  for  doubling  hills,  as  above,  on  runs  of  ninety  miles  or  less. 

21.  Train  crews  shall  not  be  required  to  repair  disabled  cars  left  at  stations 
by  other  trains.  When  practicablt;  to  do  so,  without  detriment  to  the  company's 
business,  car  repairers  shall  be  sent  to  make  necessary  repairs.  Cars  disabled  in 
trains  shall  be  repaired  or  chained  up  by  the  train  crew  and  taken  through  to 
destination  or  division  station  when  possible  and  safe  to  do  so,  and  it  can  be  done 
without  unreasonable  delay  to  trains. 

GENERAL    REGULATIONS. 

1.  Conductors  shall  have  full  and  entire  control  of  brakemen  on  their  trains 
and  of  the  plsxr.mg  of  them,  and  shall  not  be  required  to  take  out  a  brakeman 
whom  they  know  to  be  incompetent. 

2.  Trainmen  will  rank  from  the  day  they  are  employed,  and  in  the  event  of  a 
surplus  of  men,  the  oldest  in  service  on  their  respective  divisions  shall  have 
preierence  of  employment;  character,  ability  and  merit  being  equal,  the  Division 
Superintendent  to  be  the  sole  judge  of  these  questions. 

3.  No  trainman  shall  be  suspended  or  discharged  without  just  cause.  In  case 
of  suspension  or  dismissal,  if  he  thinks  his  sentence  unjust,  his  case  shall  have  a 
thorough  investigation  by  the  proper  officers  at  which  he  may  be  present  if  he  so 
desires.  Such  investigation  shall  be  made  as  soon  as  possible  and  if  found  un- 
justly suspended  or  discharged  he  shall  be  reinstated  and  paid  full  time  while  so 
out  of  service. 

4.  When  trainmen  have  been  in  continuous  service  so  long  as  to  require  rest, 
they  shall  not  be  required  to  go  out  until  sufficient  time  has  been  allowed  them  to 
recuperate;  men  to  be  judges  of  their  own  physical  condition.  Under  ordinary  cir- 
cumstances eigfht  hours  rest  will  be  considered  sufficient. 

5.  When  time  is  not  allowed  as  per  conductors'  daily  time  slip,  it  shall  be  re- 
turned with  the  reason  for  not  allowing  the  time. 

6.  Any  trainman  suspended  or  dismissed,  shall  have  the  right  of  appeal  to  the 
Superintendent.  If  he  fails  to  adjust  the  case  appeal  can  then  be  made  to  the 
Assistant  General  Superintendent,  General  Superintendent  and  General  Manager  in 
regular  order.

One  hundred  miles  or  less,  or  ten  hours  or  less  to  constitute  a  day's  work,  ex-

On  such  runs  as  the  Shelbyville,  Rossville-Sidell  Branch,  the  Cissna  Park  runs 
and  the  LaCrosse  Branch  where  switch  engines  have  not  been  in  use,  trainmen  will 
be  required  to  do  switching  when  necessary  in  order  to  make  ten  hours  time  with- 
out extra  compensation. 

(Example:— From  Danville  to  Shelbyville  is  ninety  miles;  on  every  run  they 
may  be  required  to  switch  one  hour  at  Shelbyville— as  there  is  no  switch  engine 
there— without  extra  compensation,  provided  the  ten  hours  time  is  not  exceeded; 
and  on  runs  of  eighty  miles;  two  hours  •■•'vitching  will  be  required  under  the  same

dred miles— will  be  allowed  for  each  trip.

20  cents  per  hour  will  be  allowed  conductors  and  brakemen  in  freight  service  only 
after  an  average  of  ten  hours  after  each  one  hundred  miles  servfce  has  been  per- 
formed; computation  to  be  made  monthly.  Time  will  be  allowed  in  freight  service 
from  time  set  for  departure  of  trains  by  schedule  or  otherwise,  and  will  end  when 
men  are  relieved  from  duty. 

Round  trips  or  doubling  runs  will  be  considered  as  continuous  service. 

Trips  or  service  commenced  on  one  calendar  day  and  not  completed  until  the 
following  day  will  be  considered  as  made  on  the  day  on  which  commenced.  Thir- 
teen hours  shall  be  considered  a  day's  work  on  all  local  runs.

things  being  equal,  the  man  longest  in  the  service  on  the  Division  shall  have 
preference. 

No  more  conductors  or  trainmen  will  be  assigned  to  runs  than  are  necessary  to

the  trainmaster  within  seven  days,  and  will  be  notified  promptly  of  the  result  of 
the  investigation.  If  suspension  is  the  punishment,  it  shall  date  from  the  day 
taken  off  for  investigation.  Jn  case  the  conductor  or  trainman  suspended  is  found 
to  be  innocent,  he  will  be  paid  half-time  for  the  time  lost.

should  arise  between  the  conductors  and  trainmen  and  the  Division  officers,  a 
written  statement  of  the  questions  at  issue  must  be  submitted  to  the  general  man- 
ager, through  the  Division  superintendent,  for  his  construction.

13.  The  articles  enumerated  constitute  in  their  entirety  an  agreement  between 
the  Chesapeake  and  Ohio  Railway  Company  and  the  conductors  and  trainmen.  No 
departure  from  the  provisions  of  this  agreement  will  be  made  by  any  party  thereto

ill  order  that  their  places  may  be  filled. 

5.  In  making  promotions  and  assignments,  seniority  will  be  considered,  and 
overvthing  else  being  equal  those  longest  in  the  service  shall  have  preference. 
When  it  becomes  necessary  to  reduce  force,  employes  retained  shall  be  of  those 
longest  in  the  service:  i.  e.  as  between  those  equally  honest,  sober  and  ca])able. 
but  seniority  will  not  be  made  a  covering  for  any  fault,  or  prevent  the  company 
from  retaining  those  whose  services  have  been  more  satisfactorx". 

6.  In  case  of  suspension  or  discharge  for  any  cause  excepting  intemperance 
or  drunkenness  (whether  on  or  off  dutyi,  the  aggrieved  employee  may,  within  five

ting out  his  grievances  in  detail,  and  thereupon,  ordinarily  within  live  days,  the

will  be  paid  for  as  overtime.  It  being  understood,  however,  that  when  overtime  is 
made  on  schedule  runs,  in  both  making  up  train  and  delays  on  the  roaJ,  the  over- 
time on  the  road  will  be  computed  from  the  time  train  is  ready  to  leave  after 
switching  is  done,  thus  prohibiting  an  allowance  of  double  pay  for  single  service 
rendered. 

9.  When  other  work  is  furnished  conductors  and  brakemen.  in  regular  road, 
switching,  and  work  train  service,  making  the  service  continuous,  only  actual  time

GO 


LOriSVILLE,   EVANSVILLE  &   ST.  LOl'IS   CON'SOLIOATED   R.  R. 


were  to  blame  for  the  act  for  which  they  were  suspended.  When  a  conductor  or 
brakenian,  who,  charged  with  wrong  or  fault,  is  called  for  investigation,  if  he  sees 
proper  to  invite  another  conductor  or  brakeman  to  ^o  with  him  to  hear  the  investi- 
gation, the  management  will  have  no  objection  to  his  doing  so. 

12.  Conductors  and  brakemen  will  be  notified  by  the  timekeeper  when  the  time 
is  not  allowed  as  per  trip  report  of  the  condur  .or. 

13.  The  right  of  regular  runs  and  promotion  will  be  governed  by  merit  and 
ability,  everything  being  equal,  the  conductor  or  brakeman  being  longest  in  the 
service  will  nave  the  preference.  This  must  not  be  construed  to  mean  that  con- 
ductors and  brakemen  can  swap  or  change  runs  from  one  train  to  another  at  will 
and  they  will  not  be  allowed  to  experiment  with  the  different  runs.  Through  freight 
brakemen  cannot  displace  passenger  or  local  freight  brakemen  simply  upon  claim 
of  seniorty.  All  men  in  train  service  will  be  considered  in  line  of  promotion 
according  to  their  age  in  the  service,.and  ability  to  as.sume  the  duty. 

14.  Trainmen  will  not  be  held  responsible  for  damage  to  property  or  rolling 
stock  unless  they  have  been  found  to  have  carelessly  caused  such  loss'or  damage, 
in  which  case  they  will  be  suspended  or  discharged  after  investigation,  as  may  be 
deemed  necessary.  Trainmen  are  to  use  every  caution  and  effort  in  their  power  to 
avoid  accident  or  damage  to  property. 

15.  The  time  table  in  effect  to  be  the  basis  of  computation  of  time  under  thi^ 
agreement.  For  extras,  the  time  to  be  one-half  of  the  total  time  of  the  fastest  and 
slowest  schedule  through  freight  trains. 

16.  Conductors,  baggagemasters  and  brakemen  on  passenger  trains  will  re- 
ceive overtime  at  regular  overtime  rates.  Conductors  30  cents  and  baggagemasters 
and  brakemen  20  cents  per  hour  after  two  hours  delay  on  schedule  time,  and  be 
paid  for  extra  work  outside  of  their  regular  run. 

17.  Trainmen  on  trains,  91,  92,  93,  94,  to  receive  115  mi'es  at  3  and  2  cents  per 
mile  respectively,  for  these  four  runs,  but  if  from  any  cause  but  two  trains  can  be 
run,  mileage  will  be  considered  100  miles. 

18.  Trainmen  called  for  any  cause  for  other  than  their  own  acts,  and  train  is  an- 
nulled, will  be  priid  for  three  hours  at  overtime  rates.  But  in  case  being  notified 
that  they  are  not  needed  before  reporting  for  duty,  no  time  will  be  allowed.  Train- 
men held  over  five  hours  for  a  train  that  does  not  run  will  be  paid  ten  hours  at 
overtime  rates,  and  shall  go  behind  all  other  crews  at  that  point,  it  being  under- 
stood that  in  case  crews  go  out  in  five  hours  they  shall  receive  pay  from  the  tinu- 
first  called  to  leave. 

19.  All  time  to  be  computed  from  register  and  train  sheets.  Trainmen  registering 
falsely  are  subject  to  dismissal. 

20.  After  a  continuous  service  of  18  hours  or  more,  trainmen  shall  be  entitled 
to,  and  allowed,  8  hours  rest  at  terminals,  provided  they  give  proper  notice  of  such 
desire  except  in  case  of  wrecks,  washouts  or  similar  emergencies. 

21.  When  a  trainman  is  suspended  or  dismissed,  he  shall  be  notified  in  writ- 
ing the  day  his  suspension  takes  place,  and  the  length  of  time  suspended.  Any 
trainman  suspended  for  any  definite  or  indefinite  length  of  time  and  is  called  upon 
to  assume  his  duty  before  the  time  of  his  suspension  expires,  upon  being  called 
to  assume  such  duty  the  suspension  will  immediately  cease. 

22.  Brakemen  will  not  be  required  to  pilot  engines  to  roundhouse  after  arrival 
at  Dike  when  engine  is  taken  charge  of  by  hostler  and  helper. 

23.  In  filling  vacancies  in  rank  of  freight  conductors,  all  men  in  train  service 
will  be  considered  in  line  of  promotion  according  to  their  age  in  service,  and  abil- 
ity to  assume  the  duty,  except  where  one  brakeman  is  promoted  to  conductor,  one 
experienced  conductor  shall  be  appointed  from  the  ranks  or  hired  at  the  option  of 
the  officers  in  charge;  but  this  does  not  bar  the  company  from  hiring  new  men 
when  the  business  demands  it.  Brakemen  so  promoted  must  have  four  years'  ex- 
perience as  a  brakeman  on  steam  surface  railways.  In  promoting  brakemen  to 
freight  conductors  and  freight  conductors  to  passenger  trains  it  must  be  dis- 
tin(?tly  understood  that  merit  and  general  fitness  for  the  position  are  to  be  first  | 
considered. 

24.  When  freight  raffic  is  light,  so  that  the  conductors  and  brakemen  in  ser- 
vice are  not  liable  to  make  reasonable  time,  crews  will  be  taken  off,  beginning  with 
the  youngest,  until  the  crews  that  are  left  in  service  are  enabled  to  make  reason- 
able" wages.  Conductors  and  brakemen  temporarily  taken  off  under  this  section 
will  be  given  work  as  brakemen  in  preference  to  younger  men,  and  conductors  will 
retain  their  rights  as  conductors. 

25.  Any  trainman  leaving  the  service  of  the  company  of  his  own  accord,  or  if  he 
is  discharged  from  the  service,  he  shall  forfeit  all  rights  previously  held  unless  he 
is  reinstated  within  60  days. 

26.  When  a  conductor  makes  a  reasonable  objection  to  his  superior  officers

disposition  of  cars  must  be  given  in  writing. 

28.  All  supplies,  such  as  lanterns,  switch  keys,  ticket  punches,  book  of  rules, 
to  be  furnished  by  the  company,  and  trainmen  will  sign  receipt  for  same,  agreeing 
that  $1.00  may  be  deducted  from  their  salary  for  switch  keys  and  ticket  punches, 
and  50c  for  book  of  rules  and  lantern,  provided  same  are  lost  or  not  returned  when 
trainmen  leave  the  service,  or  a  satisfactory  excuse  given  for  their  non-return,  ex-

Road  crews  will  not  be  required  to  do  city  work  at  intermediate  stations  where 
switch  engines  are  on  duty,  except  in  emergency.  At  such  points,  yard  crews  are 
expected  to  have  cars  placed  convenient  to  be  picked  up. 

When  it  becomes  necessary  to  pilot  an  engine  or  train  over  a  division,  a  con- 
ductor or  brakeman  will  be  used  at  conductor's  pay.  Piloting  or  emergency  run-

tion of  the  law. 

When  conductors  make  reasonable  objections  in  writing  to  the  trainmaster  or 
su]ierintendent,  against  a  brakeman  or  porter  under  his  charge,  he  will  be  re- 
moved or  assigned  to  another  crew  or  dismissed  from  the  service,  according  to 
i  circumstances. 

Employes  will  not  be  discharged  or  suspended  from  the  service  except  for  good 
[and  sufficient  cause,  and  in  case  an  employe  is  suspended  pending  investigation, 
he  shall  be  so  notified  and  decision  rendered  within  five  days.  If  an  employe  con- 
siders that  he  is  unjustly  discharged  or  suspended  from  the  servicf^  of  the  com- 
pany, he  may  within  ten  days  of  the  date  of  the  decision  by  the  company,  of  such 
discharge  or  suspension,  make  a  written  statement  of  his  case  to  the  trainmaster,

jpeal  to  the  general  officers,  and  hearing  granted  within  a  period  of  ten  days.  The 
interpretation  Of  the  above  is  that  ten  davs  will  be  allowed  each  ranking  officer  to 
jwhom  the  appeal  may  be  made.    If  found  innocent,  he  will  be  paid  for  all  time  lost.

?ither  by  individual  conductors,  brakemen  or  yardmen  or  by  a  committee  of  con- 
rluctors  or  trainmen,  provided  proper  notice  is  given  in  writing  as  to  the  subject

reasonable  time,  crews  will  be  taken  off  beginning  with  the  youngest  until  the 
crews  left  in  service  are  enabled  to  make  reasonable  time;  conductors  temporarily

ceiving the  same  will,  upon  application,  be  given  reasons  therefor  in  writing. 

12.  Trainmen  are  expectea  to  use  every  precaution  and  effort  to  avoid  accidents 
or  damage  to  property.  In  cases  of  carelessness  they  will  be  discharged  or  sus-

damage.  They  \vill  be  notified  if  overtime  they  turn  in  is  not  allowed,  with  proper 
explanation  why  it  is  not  allowed.  They  will  not  be  required  to  go  on  duty  with- 
out sufficient  rest. 

13.  No  change  in  tins  agreement  shall  be  made,  either  by  the  compan     or 
ployes,  without  thirty  days   notice  in  writing.  GEO.  K.  LOWELi.

character.  This  blacklist  is  distributed  only  over  our  own  lines,  purely  as  a  mat- 
ter of  protection  to  the  interests  of  this  company,  which  practice  we  believe  inures 
to  the  advantage  of  all  deserving  trainmen.    It  is  not   our  purpose  to  blacklist  a

used  in  the  discharge  of  their  respective  duties,  or  be  liable  for  any  other  charge,

them  shall  be  limited  to  one  dollar  each,  such  amount  to  be  refunded  at  the  termi- 
nation of  service,  upon  the  return  to  the  companv  of  the  property  charged  for.

their  age  of  continuous  service. 

19.  It  is  the  policy  of  the  company  to  promote  freight  conductors  from 
freight  brakemen  and  passenger  conductors  from  freight  conductors. 

In  rnaking  promotions  Division  Superintendents  will  consider  seniority  of 
service,  in  other  words,  those  longest  in  service,  other  things  being  equal,  shall 
have  the  prefcx-ence.  When  a  reduction  in  forces  becomes  necessary  the  company 
will  retain  those  who  have  been  longest  in  the  service,  that  is  to  say,  as  between 
those  equally  honest,  sober  and  capable.  But  "senioritv"  is  not  to  be  made  a 
cover  for  shortcomings  of  any  kind,  nor  shall  this  rule  be  construed  so  as  to  pre- 
vent the  Company  securing  the  most  efficient  service  that  may  be  obtainable.  Each 
Division  Superintendent  is  held  responsible  for  the  proper  performance  of  all 
duties  devolving  up  n  men  working  under  his  supervisicri,  and,  as  he  is  in  the 
best  position  to  look  after  the  welfare  of  the  Company,  he  shall  be  the  judge  re- 
g^arding  the  respective  merits  and  qualifications  of  those  working  under  his 
directions.  If  any  employe  feels  that  an  injustice  has  been  done  him  under  this 
rule,  he  has  the  right  of  appeal  to  the  General  Superintendent  or  the  General 
Manager. 

20.  No  trainman  will  be  held  responsible  for  cut  journals  or  flat  wheels 
where  it  can  be  shown  that  proper  attention  had  been  given  them  by  the  crew. 

21.  At  ail  terminals  where  trains  are  made  up,  the  car  inspector  will  test 
all  air-brake  cars  and  see  that  they  are  in  good  order,  and  the  Yardmaster  will 
place  all  air-brake  cars  ahead  as  far  as  practicable. 

22.  When  Yardmasters  have  a  train  made  up  and  ready  to  go  they  will 
notify  the  conductor,  and  will  not  place  anv  more  cars  on  that  train  unless  the  con- 
ductor has  been  first  notified. 

23.  Trainmen  running  into  main  line  terminals  where  there  are  no  yard 
crews,  and  required  to  do  switching,  will  be  paid  for  such  service  at  the  schedule 
rates  of  overtime.  Any  freight,  local  or  extra,  crew  required  to  do  switching  at 
Victoria,  will  be  paid  for  such  service  at  schedule  rates  for  overtime,  any  fractional 
part  of  first  hour  to  be  considered  one  hour.  Switching  in  schedule  tfme  %vill  be 
considered  in  computing  overtime.  Switching  at  Alexandria  will  be  paid  for  at 
overtime  rates,  provided  more  than  one  hour  be  consumed. 

24.  Freight  crews,  after  making  two  division  trips  without  rest  will  be 
entitled  to  ei^.ht  (8)  hours  rest  if  they  require  it  and  give  due  notice  thereof, 
except  in  cases  of  wrecks  and  washouts. 

25.  Oldest  extra  conductors  and  brakemen  shall  do  all  e.xtra  running  on 
♦''eir  respective  divisions,  but  in  no  case  shall  an  extra  conductor  receive  less  than 
a  brakeman's  guarantee.

or  branch  service,  shall  not  lose  their  main  line  rights. 

27.  Trainmen  can  claim  no  seniority  or  rights  in  yards. 

28.  When  trainmen  leave  the  service  of  the  company  they  shall  be  given 
letters  showing  time  of  service,  in  capacity  or  capacities  employed,  and  cause  of 
leaving  service;  provided  they  have  worked  on  division  sixty  days  or  more;  said 
letters  to  be  given  them  within  two  days  of  personal  application,  ^  .d  to  bear  office 
s'amp  and  Division  Superintendent's  signature.

proper  cause.  In  case  a  yardman  or  trainman  ..relieves  his  discharge  or  suspension

30.  Conductors  will  be  held  responsible  for  position  of  switches,  as  per

On  local  way  freight  runs  of  less  than  one  hundred  miles,  one  hundred  miles 
will  be  allowed. 

Men  employed  on  hills  will  be  paid  the  same  rate  per  mile  as  road  men,  for  all

Road  crews  doubling  hills  will  be  allowed  actual  mileage  at  the  rate  per  mile 
paid  on  that  train. 

Men  on  work  trains,  wreck  trains  or  performing  drill  work  along  the  line  at 
different  stations  will  be  paid  the  same  rate  per  mile  as  freight  crews. 

On  runs  of  less  than  one  hundred  miles  where  constructive  mileage  is  allowed, 
when  the  run  is  doubled,  the  actual  mileage  will  be  allowed  where  the  mileage 
exceeds  one  hundred  miles  for  the  round  trip. 

Xo  mileage  will  be  allowed  for  learning  the  road,  or  for  being  examined  to  run 
on  other  lines,  except  when  ordered  to  new  territory  by  the  company. 

Where  schedule  consists  of  freight  one  way  and  passenger  the  other  way,  it 
shall  be  paid  for  on  whichever  mileage  is  the  greater. 

Men  assigned  where  constructive  mileage  is  allov.  .d  will,  when  they  lay  off, 
lose  the  same  amount  each  day  that  they  would  receive  if  ^'  ey  worked. 

Any  employe  while  on  duty  shall  perform  any  work  ass'igned  to  him.  Any 
work  required  of  him  after  his  run  is  completed  will  be  paid  for  at  the  same  rate 
and  under  the  same  rule  as  his  run  paid. 

Men  acting  as  witnesses,  or  attending  court  under  instructions  of  an  official  of 
'he  company,  will  be  allowed  one  hundred  miles  for  twenty-four  hours  at  their 
iepular  wages  and  actual  expenses;  this  to  cover  all  time  until  they  resume  work.

■    'V

ERIE   RAILROAD  COMPANY— CHICAGO   &    ERIE   RAILROAD  CO. 


from  freight  brakeman  to  freight  conductor;  freight  conductor  to  milk  train  con- 
ductor; milk  train  conductor  to  passenger  conductor.  By  "division"  is  meant  al] 
the  lines  under  the  jurisdiction  of  one  superintendent.  A  similar  preference  will 
apply  to  drillmasters  and  drillmen  by  drillmen  being  promoted  to  drillmasters. 

A  temporary  vacancy  in  passenger  service  of  more  than  chirty  days  will  be 
filled  by  the  senior  freight  man,  if  competent;  less  than  thirty  days  by  the  first 
man  out  who  is  competent. 

Vacant  runs  will  be  advertised  fifteen  days. 

3.  When  men  do  not  make  2()(M)  miles  per  month  in  extra  freight  service, 
the  most  recently  employed  or  promoted  will  be  set  back  or  placed  on  the 
extra  list.  They  shall  also  hold  their  rank  res]5ectively  when  business  revives  and 
additional  men  are  required. 

In  case  of  a  shortage  of  men  on  one  part  of  the  road  and  a  surplus  on  another 
part,  the  surplus  men  will  be  transferred  temporarily  to  avoid  hiring  men,  and 
such  will  not  lose  their  rank  on  that  part  of  the  road  from  which  they  were  trans- 
ferred. 

A  man  going  from  one  division  to  another  at  his  own  recjuest  will  be  consid- 
ered as  a  new  man  on  the  division  to  which  he  goes,  and  he  will  lose  his  rank  on 
the  division  which  he  leaves. 

4.  Fr  •  ?very  two  brakemen  and  drillmen  promoted  one  conductor  and 
drillmaster  may  be  hired,  provided  there  is  no  competent  brakeman  in  the 
service  of  ten  years'  experience. 

In  reducing  the  force  the  least  competent  men  will  be  permanently  relieved; 
those  most  recently  employed  may  be  permanently  relieved  or  laid  off,  as  may  be 
found  necessary. 

Brakemen  and  drillmen  failing  to  pass  a  first  examination  for  conductors  and 
drillmasters  respectively  will  be  given  a  second  examination  after  a  reasonable 
time.     If  they  fail  again  they  may  be  relieved  as  incompetent. 

Passenger  brakemen  who  have  served  two  years  in  freight  service  shall  be 
considered  in  line  for  promotion  to  conductors  of  second  class  trains,  after  ser\-- 
ing  sufficient  additional  time  in  freight  service  and  passing  the  necessary  exami- 
nation. 

5.  All  unassigned  men  will  be  run  first  in  and  first  out  on  their  respective 
divisions. 

In  order  to  give  sufficient  time  for  rest,  men  will  not  be  called  upon  to  go  out, 
when  it  can  be  avoided,  sooner  than  twelve  hours  after  their  arrival,  they  to  be  the 
judge  when  they  require  rest. 

n.  Men  who  are  unable  from  any  cause  to  perform  service  must  send  notice 
in  ample  time  to  make  other  provision  and  to  avoid  being  called. 

Where  callers  are  employed,  men  who  live  within  a  distance  of  one  mile  will 
be  called  a  reasonable  time'  before  the  leaving  time  of  their  trains,  and  the  man 
called  will  sign  his  name  and  the  time  at  which  he  was  called.  This  will  not  apply 
to  men  assigned  to  regular  passenger  trains,  ncr  will  it  apply  to  regular  freight 
trains  between  the  hours  of  7  a.  m.  and  7  p.  m. 

7.  It  is  the  policy  of  the  management  to  find  employment,  if  possible,  for 
disabled  employes  where  they  can  perform  work  that  aoes  not  endanger  public 
safety  or  the  company's  property. 

All  men  who  have  been  in  the  employ  of  the  company  for  ninety  da)-s,  upon 
leaving  the  service  or  being  relieved,  will  be  given  a  service  card  stating  the  time 
of  service,  capacity  in  which  employed  and  cause  of  leaving  service,  the  same  to 
be  approved  and  stamped  by  the  proper  officer. 

8.  When  the  service  on  a  time  slip  is  not  allowed,  the  time  slip  will  be  re- 
turned to  the  man  making  it,  with  reasons  given  for  not  allowing  it. 

9.  The  management  accords  to  any  and  all  employes  the  right  to  appeal  to 
its  highest  officer.

2.  Qualifications  beinjf  equal,  seniority  shall  prevail  over  the  entire  system, 
except  as  otherwise  provided  herein. 

3.  Twelve  hours  to  constitute  a  day's  work  in  road  sen^ice,  overtime  at  one- 
tenth  day  per  hour,  or  ten  miles  per  hour  where  mileage  basis  is  used. 

4.  The  company  will  reserve  the  right  to  ja^ive  employment  to  such  persons  as 
it  may  deem  desirable  or  expedient,  but  in  doing  so  will,  so  far  as  practicable  and 
consistent,  give  preference  to  men  of  experience  whose  records  are  such  as  to  com- 
mend them. 

5.  Yard  work  and  road  work  will  be  two  distinct  classes  of  ser\-ice,  except  as

except  that  of  yardmaster,  he  forfeits  all  road  rights,  and  vice  versa.  It  is  the  in- 
tention of  the  company  to  promote  yardmen  to  the  position  of  yardmaster  when 
they  are  competent.  A  yardman  promoted  to  position  of  yardmaster  will  retain

They  become  effective  February  1,  1898.

).  Divisions. 


I.  Divisions. 


1.  Employes  held  off  for  investigation  shall  be  made  aware  o(  the  decision 
within  five  days. 

An  employe  shall  not  be  disciplined  without  sumcient  cause;  nor  shall  he  be 
discharged  through  anyone  but  the  recognized  head  of  his  department. 

Fines  shall  not  be  assessed  upon  any  employe  unless  negligence  is  clearly 
proven,  and  even  in  that  event  the  option  of  suspension  or  discharge  will  be  given. 

if  an  employe  regards  the  discioline  imposed  upon  him  as  unjust  he  may  sub- 
mit a  written  statement  of  facts  ana  arguments  to  the  adjustment  committee  of  his 
individual  order,  and  if,  in  the  judgment  of  the  committee,  an  injustice  has  been 
done,  then  said  committee  and  the  head  of  said  employe's  department  shall  jointly 
and  fully  consider  the  case. 

ICach  case  of  this  kind  shall  be  thus  taken  under  consideration  within  five  days 
from  the  time  sentence  is  announced,  provided  that  this  can  be  done  without  detri- 
ment to  the  company's  business. 

Committeemen  will  be  furnished  transportation,  if  necessary,  s.'^en  their  serv- 
ices are  required,  and  will  be  granted  leave  of  absence  whenever  it  can  be  granted 
without  injury  to  the  service. 

If  the  committee  is  not  satisfied  with  the  decision  finally  rendered  by  the  head 
of  the  department,  the  matter  shall  be  referred  to  the  general  superintendent  for 
hi.s  consideration. 

Should  it  occur  that  after  reconsideration  of  a  case  an  employe  is  pronounced 
entirely  blameless,  he  shall  be  paid  the  amount  he  would  have  earned  during  his 
term  ot  suspension  or  discharge. 

It  is  understood  that  the  company  has  a  right  to  hold  an  employe  off  for  one 
day  or  one  round  trip  to  attend  investigations  of  minor  importance  without  allow- 
ing pay  for  the  time  thus  lost,  and  in  extraordinary  cases  of  major  importance,  two 
davs  or  two  round  trips  if  necessary.  However,  the  various  heads  of  departments 
will  endeavor  to  hold  investigations  at  times  which  will  make  it  unnecessary  for 
employes  to  be  absent  from  their  regular  work  whenever  this  can  be  done  consist- 
ently. 

Each  employe  is  privileged  to  select  another  employe  from  his  own  grade  of 
service  to  assist  in  arguing  his  case  after  the  original  testimony  has  been  Tieard  at 
any  investigation. 

Employes  shall  not  be  suspended  or  discharged  for  serving  upon  any  commit- 
tee of  their  respective  orders.

their  assignments  to  runs  in  all  grades  of  the  service.  Promotion  and  assignment  to 
runs  shall  be  confined  to  each  employe's  respective  division,  except  in  the  case  of 
passenger  conductors.  It  is  understood  that  men  having  regular  runs  prior  to  this 
agreement  shall  retain  their  rights  regardless  of  seniority, 

3.  The  company  agrees  to  hire  one  conductor  and  one  engineman  to  every 
four  brakemen  and  four  firemen  promoted  on  each  division.  A  hired  conductor 
shall  serve  as  a  brakeman  not  less  than  three  months. 

4.  A  conductor,  brakeman,  engineman  or  fireman  desirous  of  obtaining  trans- 
portation for  a  man  who  has  been  similarly  employed,  and  for  whom  he  can  vouch 
as  to  character  and  the  fact  that  he  is  out  of  work  and  seeking  employment,  may 
personally  introduce  such  man  to  the  superintendent,  with  a  request  for  transpor- 
tation, and  the  superintendent  will  use  his  discretion  as  to  granting  the  favor. 

5.  The  examination  of  employes  as  to  sight  and  hearing  shall  conform  to  the 
state  law. 

6.  Crews  that  are  entitled  to  be  called  shall  be  called  within  a  radius  of  one  mile, 
and  not  more  than  1,'i  hours  nor  less  than  one  hour  before  the  time  designated  to 
leave. 

7.  Crews  called  to  go  out  and  afterwards  not  used  shall  be  paid  at  the  agreed 
rate  of  overtime  per  hour,  but  in  no  case  for  less  than  one  hour. 

8.  Employes  held  off  by  the  company  to  attend  court,  or  on  other  business  of 
the  company,  shall  be  paid  for  actual  time  lost,  and  the  company  shall  furnish 
transportation  when  necessary. 

When  the  company  pays  an  employe  for  time  lost  at  court,  his  'ees  and 
mileage  shall  be  assigned  to  the  company. 

If  no  time  is  lost  the  employe  shall  not  receive  pay  from  the  company  and  may 
collect  his  own  fees  and  mileage. 

9.  Deadheading  over  the  road  on  company's  business  shall  be  paid  for  at  one- 
half  of  the  rate  paid  for  the  service  in  which  a  man  is  employed.

freight  rate;  overtime  to  be  allowed  after  five  nours  on  the  Cincinnati  division,  six

THE  OREGON  RAILROAD  AND  NAVIGATION  COMPANY.

made  to  relieve  men  who  have  been  overworked  and  require  rest,  or  in  cases  of 
actual  sickness,  or  in  any  other  case  which  is  manifestly  one  required  by  necess- 
ity or  convenience.  Deadheading  will  not  be  allowed  when  caused  by  granting 
requests  of  trainmen  for  lay-off?,  or  absence  granted  at  their  request  and  when 
the  Company  is  in  no  way  interested. 

9.  When  attending  court,  or  employed  in  other  than  train  service,  trainmen 
will  be  allowed  one  day's  pay  for  every  twenty-four  hours,  or  fraction  thereof, 
while  thus  employed,  and  allowed  legitimate  expenses  when  away  from  home  sta- 
tion. 

10.  Light  engines  when  run  over  district  will  be  atconpanied  by  pilot  at  op- 
tion of  Superint'mdent.  He  shall  be  a  conductor,  or  brakeman,  who  has  passed 
an  examination  tor  a  conductor,  and  shall  receive  conductors'  p^y. 

11.  Crews  assigned  to  regular  runs  at  monthly  pay,  shall  receive  ex^ra  com- 
pensation, at  regular  rates  for  service  performed,  when  used  on  lay-over  davs. 

12.  Freight  train  crews  handling  passenger  trains  will  be  allowed  freight  train 
rates  of  pay. 

13.  The  rate  per  hour  paid  for  overtime  will  be  one-tenth  of  the  rate  paid  per 
day. 

Delayed  time  on  passenger  trains  will  be  paid  for,  less  two  and  one-half  hours. 

In   computing  overtime,  or  delayed  time,  any  fraction  of  an  aour  less  than 

thirty  minutes  will  not  be  counted;  thirty  minutes  or  over  will  be  counted  an  hour. 

14.  Trainmen  required  to  do  switching,  load  stock,  etc.,  at  main  line  d 'strict 
terminals,  before  starting  on  runs,  or  when  held  on  duty  with  their  trains  after 
arrival  at  main  line  district  terminals,  will  be  allowed  overtime,  as  per  schedule 
rates  in  addition  to  time  on  road. 

15.  Engines  will  be  given  a  tonnage  rating  based  on  what  they  are  capable  of 
handling  over  the  district  under  the  usual  and  ordinary  conditions.  Trainmen 
will  be  allowed  five  miles  for  each  double  on  hills,  unless  the  actual  mileage  is 
more  than  five  miles,  in  which  case  actual  mileage  will  be  allowed,  except  Crest 
Hill,  where  ten  miles  will  be  allowed  for  a  double.  If  any  overtime  is  gained  by 
such  doubling,  the  amount  allowed  for  doubling  will  be  deducted  from  the  amount 
paid  for  overtime. 

IG.  If  trainmen  accept  permanent  yard  service  voluntarily,  they  forfeit  all  road 
rights. 

17.  When  traffic  becomes  so  light  that  reasonable  wages  cannot  be  made,  the 
number  of  crews  will  be  reduced  (  beginning  wit  i  the  youngest )  until  those  left  in 
service  can  make  reasonable  wages. 

Conductors  temporarily  suspended  under  this  rule  will  be  given  employment 
as  brakemen,  and  will  retain  their  rights  as  conductors. 

18.  Conductors'  rights  will  date  from  the  time  they  pass  a  satisfactory  exami- 
nation for  promotion. 

19.  The  Company  reserves  the  right  to  tie  up  trains  between  terminal  points. 

20.  Trainmen  will  be  called  for  duty  about  one  hour,  as  nearly  as  practicable,

called.    Time  will  begin  at  the  time  set  for  departure  of  trains. 

When  trainmen  are  ordered  out  and  not  used  on  account  of  trains  being 
abandoned  or  for  other  causes,  the  trainmen  called  for  duty  shall  receive  one-half 
day  for  five  hours  or  less,  and  stand  first  out.  For  more  than  five  hours  they 
shall  receive  one  day  and  stand  last  out. 

21.  After  continuous  service  of  sixteen  hours  or  more,  trainmen  will  be  en-

vided they  so  desire,  except  in  cases  of  wrecks,  wash-outs,  or  other  emergencies. 

22.  Conductors  will  be  notified  when  time  is  not  allowed  as  per  trip  reports, 
stating  reasons. 

23.  When  a  trainman  is  taken  from  his  run  for  the  investigation  of  an  alleged

(iEXEUAL   lU'LES. 


The  following  general  rules 
schedule: 


will  apply  alike  to  all  territory  covered  in  this 


1.  Conductors  assijjned,  under  monthly  rate  of  pay,  to  runs  that  do  not  run 
regularly  on  Cundays,  will  be  paid  extra  for  all  Sunday  or  other  extra  work  out- 
side of  their  assigned  run,  and  when  assigned  to  extra  or  special  service  will  be 
paid  the  regular  rate  of  pay. 

2.  Unless  specially  arranged  between  conductors  and  their  superintendent, 
conductors  in  through  freight  service  will  run  first  in  first  out,  except  that  con- 
ductors coming  in,  and  not  having  made  a  full  day,  will  stand  first  out  ahead  of 
all  conductors  not  called. 

3.  When  conductors  are  called,  and  not  sent  out,  they  will  be  paid  one- 
quarter  day,  if  not  held  more  than  three  hours;  if  held  more  than  three  hours, 
thirty  cents  per  hour  for  time  held. 

'4.  At  all  terminal  and  intermediate  points,  through  freight  conductors  will 
not  be  required  to  make  up  trains  and  do  switching;  when  used  to  do  this  work 
they  will  be  paid  thirty  cents  per  hour  therefor;  thirty-five  minutes  to  be  com- 
puted as  one  hour;  less  than  thirty- five  minutes  will  not  be  counted. 

Where  time  is  earned  under  this  rule,  and  overtime  is  made  on  same  trip,  the 
arrount  of  switching  time  gained  will  be  deducted  from  the  amount  of  overtime. 

5.  Conductors  attending  court  or  investigations,  as  witnesses,  (by  request 
of  the  company),  will  be  paid  for  all  time  lost.  Those  not  on  regular  run  will  be 
paid  for  each  calendar  day,  and  when  away  from  home  their  necessary  expenses 
will  be  paid. 

6.  If  a  conductor  is  required  to  change  his  run  and  the  change  necessitates 
his  moving,  his  family  and  household  goods  will  be  moved  free. 

7.  Conductors  reaching  terminal  stations  after  sixteen  hours'  continuous  ser- 
vice, will  be  allowed  ten  hours'  rest  before  being  required  to  go  out,  except  in 
cases  of  emergency. 

8.  So  far  as  business  will  permit,  conductors  will  be  run  so  as  to  give  them 
their  lay-over  at  the  terminal  at  which  they  reside. 

9.  Whenever  practicable,  trains  546  and  347,  46  and  47,  will  be  given  a  coach 
or  combination  car. 

10.  The  company  will  not  require  conductors  to  retain  braken-.en  who  are 
incompetent  or  insubordinate. 

So  far  as  possible,  each  conductor  will,  at  all  times,  be  provided  with  at  least 
one  experienced  brakeman,  and  on  divisions  where  there  are  three  brakemen  as- 
signed to  each  crew,  at  least  two  of  them  will  be  experienced  men. 

11.  Conductors  will  be  eligible  to  any  official  position.  Conductors  accepting 
one  of  these  positions  can  hold  their  rights  on  the  road  as  conductors.  This 
rule  applying  only  to  conductors  accepting  positions  after  March  1st,  1900. 

12.  All  instructions  given  to  conductors  by  trainmasters  or  yard  dispatch- 
ers, relative  to  the  movement  or  disposition  of  cars  between  terminals,  will  be 
given  in  writing. 

13.  No  conductor  will  be  dismissed  or  suspended  from  the  service  without  a 
fair  trial,  and  all  parties  interested  must  be  present  at  the  investigation.  Wit- 
nesses may  be  examined  separately;  but,  in  the  event  of  conflicting  testimony, 
those  whose  evidence  conflicts  will  be  brought  together.  This  trial  will  be  held 
within  seven  days  from  date  of  occurrence,  and  conductors  notified  promptly  of 
the  result.  Conductors  will  not  be  suspended  pending  trial  for  minor  oltenses, 
which  do  not  result  in  serious  loss  or  danger  to  persons  or  property.  If  exoner- 
ated from  blame,  they  will  be  paid  for  all  time  lost. 

14.  Conductors  aischargea  from  the  service  of  the  company  will  forfeit  all 
risjhts  previously  held,  unless  reinstated  within  six  months.  If  a  conductor 
leaves  the  service  of  his  own  accord,  he  will,  if  re-employed,  rank  as  a  new  man. 

15.  When  the  freight  traffic  on  any  portion  of  the  road  is  so  light  that  the 
conductors  in  the  service  are  not  able  to  make  reasonable  wages,  and  it  is  nec- 
essary to  reduce  the  force,  suspensions  will  be  made  beginning  with  the  youngest 
in  the  service.  Conductors  suspended  from  the  service  under  this  rule  will  be 
given  preference  over  younger  men  as  brakemen,  and  retain  their  rights  as  con- 
ductors, and  will  be  placed  on  their  train  when  freight  traffic  requires  an  increas- 
ed force.  This  rule  will  also  apply  to  extra  passenger  conductors.  When  there 
IS  not  enough  extra  passenger  running  to  enable  the  extra  conductors  to    make

reasonable  wages,  the    youngest  conductor  may  run  his  caboose  on  freight,  or 
take  his  baggage  car,  and  not  lose  his  rights  as  a  passenger  conductor. 

16.  Any  conductor  called  upon  to  give  up  his  caboose,  and  take  the  extra 
passenger  running,  who  declines  to  do  so,  will  permanently  lose  his  rights  over 
any  conductor  who  accepts  the  extra  running. 

17.  Conductors  will  be  in  line  of  promotion.  The  rights  to  regular  runs  and 
to  promotion  will  be  governed  by  merit,  ability  and  seniority.  Freight  conduc- 
tors deprived  of  their  turn  as  passenger  conductors,  will,  upon  request,  be  furn- 
ished with  a  written  statement  from  the  superintendent,  showing  cause  of  their 
rejection.    All  vacancies  to  be  bulletined  for  ten  days. 

18.  The  company  will  employ  experienced  conductors  when  the  good  of  the 
service  requires  it. 

19.  On  all  passenger  and  freight  runs  occupying  more  than  twelve  hours,  ex- 
cept as  otherwise  provided  for,  overtime  shall  be  paid  to  conductors  at  the  rate 
of  thirty  cents  per  hour,  time  to  commence  one  hour  after  bein^  called.  Over- 
time shall  not  begin  until  after  the  expiration  of  thirty-five  minutes  in  addi- 
tion  thereto,  said   thirty-five  minutes  to  be  reckoned  as  one  hour. 

Conductors  living  within  one  mile  of  terminals,  will  be  called,  as  nearly  as 
practicable,  one  hour  before  the  time  the  train  is  due  to  leave,  by  the  train  caller, 
who  will  be  provided  with  a  book,  in  which  the  men  called  will  enter  their  names. 
This  will  not  apply  to  conductors  on  regular  runs  leaving  between  6  a.  m.  and 
10  p.  m. 

20.  Conductors  will  be  notified  in  writing  when  time  is  not  allowed  as  per 
their  time  slip,  and  the  reasons  for  non-allowance  given. 

21.  Conductors  deadheading,  under  orders,  on  freight  trains,  will  receive 
full  freight  rates,  and  on  passenger  trains  one-half  regular  rate. 

22.  Conductors  will  not  be  relieved  between  terminals. 

23.  The  rights  of  conductors  will  commence  on  the  day  of  their  promotion, 
orovided  they  have  passed  proper  examination. 

Extra  trips  in  emergencies  made  by  men  who  have  not  been  examined,  will 
noi  be  considered.  Rights  of  conductors  will  be  confined  to  their  respective  dis- 
tricts, and  on  trains  running  over  two  or  more  districts  each  district  will  furnish 
its  proportion  of  conductors;  they  will  have  choice  of  runs  to  which  their  age  en- 
titles them,  provided  they  are  competent. 

When  additional  passenger  conductors  are  required,  promotions  will  be  made 
from  the  ranks  of  freight  conductors,  as  above.  This  rule  will  not  be  construed 
to  reduce  the  rights  any  conductor  now  holds. 

24.  When  a  conductor's  caboose  goes  into  the  shop,  or  is  sent  away,  for  10 
days  or  over,  he  will  be  furnished  with  another. 

25.  On  Main  Stem,  in  freight  service,  conductors  promoted,  will  serve  as 
second-class  conductors,  for  a  term  of  six  months,  and  will  receive  thirty- five 
cents  per  day  less  than  first-class  conductors.

THE  BALTIMORE  &  OHIO  RAILROAD  COMPANY. 


The  following  general  rules  will  apply  alike  to  all  territory  covered  in  this 
schedule,  except  where  otherwise  specially  mentioned,  and  will  take  effect  Novem- 
ber 1,  1899. 

The  term  "trainmen,"  used  in  this  agreement,  applies  to  conductors,  flagmen, 
baggagemen,  brakemen  and  yardmen. 

1.  Trainmen  assigned  under  monthly  rate  of  pay  to  runs  that  do  not  run  daily 
—and  hereafter  scheduled  to  run  daily — will  be  paid  at  same  rate  as  other  runs 
of  the  same  class  that  run  daily.  For  extra  work  done  outside  of  their  regular 
runs,  they  will  be  paid  extra  at  their  regular  rate  of  pay. 

2.  Unless  specially  arranged  between  trainmen  and  superintendent,  trainmen 
will  run  first  in  first  out,  except  that  crews  coming  in  and  not  having  made  full  day 
will  stand  first  out  ahead  of  all  crews  not  called.  Extra  trainmen  making  less 
th.  n  one  day  will  remain  first  out  instead  of  ^oing  to  the  foot  of  the  list.  (This 
rule  will  not  apply  to  freight  service  on  the  Philadelphia  division.] 

3.  When  train  or  yardmen  are  called  and  are  not  needed,  they  shall  receive 
their  regular  rate  per  hour  at  a  minimum  of  one-fourth  (X)  of  a  day,  and  stand 
first  out.    This  shall  apply  to  extra  as  well  as  regular  men. 


THE  BALTIMORE  &  OHIO  RAILROAD  COMPANY.

4.  When  through  freight  crews  are  required  to  switch  at  terminal  or  other 
points,  they  will  receive  pay  at  the  regular  rate  per  hour,  thirty-five  (35)  minutes 
to  be  considered  an  hour.  When  the  time  usea  is  under  thirty-five  minutes,  no 
compensation  is  to  be  given. 

5.  For  attending  court  or  when  summoned  by  the  proper  officer  of  the  com- 
pany to  give  evidence,  train  or  yardmen  having  regular  runs  will  be  paid  day  for 
day  for  tne  time  lost.  Extra  men  will  be  paid  at  their  regular  rates  for  each  calen- 
dar day  and  when  av/ay  from  home,  their  necessary  expenses.  When  investiga- 
tions are  held  on  lay-over  time,  regular  men  attending  them  will  not  receive  pay. 
This  does  not  apply  to  extra  men  who  have  no  lay-over  time. 

6.  If  a  train  or  yardman  is  required  to  change  his  run,  and  by  the  change  is 
obliged  to  move  his  family  and  household  goods,  they  will  be  moved  free  of  charge, 
upon  application  to  his  superintendent. 

7.  Trainmen  after  a  continuous  service  of  sixteen  (16)  hours  or  more  will  be 
entitled  to  eight  (8)  hours  rest  and  not  be  required  to  go  out,  except  in  cases  of 
emergency. 

8.  So  far  as  practicable  crews  will  be  run  so  as  to  give  them  their  lay-over  at 
the  terminal  at  which  they  reside. 

9.  All  train  crews  shall  be  provided  with  a  coach,  caboose  or  combination  car 
attached  to  rear  end  of  train,  except  in  emergencies. 

10.  So  far  as  possible  each  crew  will  be  provided  with  one  (1)  experienced 
brakeman,  and  on  trains  where  there  are  three  (3)  brakemen,  when  possible,  two 
(2)  of  them  will  be  experienced  men. 

11.  Train  or  yardmen  will  be  eligible  to  official  positions  and  retain  their 
seniority  rights  while  in  the  service  of  the  company.  The  ruling  as  to  the  suf- 
ficiency of  the  cause  for  a  change  to  be  vested  in  the  division  supermtendent. 

12.  All  instructions  given  to  train  or  yardmen  by  a  train  master  or  yard  dis- 
patcher, relative  to  the  movement  of  trains  or  the  disposition  ot  cars  between  ter- 
minals, will  be  given  in  writing. 

13.  Train  or  yardmen  will  not  be  suspended  or  dismissed  for  accidents  or  other 
causes  pending  trial  or  a  decision  by  the  proper  officer  of  the  company,  at  which 
investigation  the  parties  interested  will  be  notified  to  appear,  and  all  parties  inter- 
ested may  be  present  at  the  investigation.  Witnesses  may  be  summoned  separately, 
and,  in  the  event  of  conflicting  testimony,  those  whose  evidence  conflicts  will  be 
heard  together. 

14.  Train  or  yardmen  discharged  fron  the  service  of  the  company  will  forfeit 
their  seniority  unless  reinstated  within  six  (6)  months.  A  train  or  yardman  leav- 
ing the  service  of  his  own  accord  forfeits  his  seniority.  A  trainman  may  be  given 
a  furlough  for  six  (6)  months  and  at  the  end  of  that  time  may,  upon  making  ap- 
plication to  his  proper  officer,  resume  his  employment  without  prejudice  and  with- 
out losing  his  seniority. 

15.  When  the  freight  traffic  is  such  that  regular  train  crews  do  not  make 
twenty-four  (24)  days  each  month  for  a  period  of  three  (3)  months,  crews  shall  be 
suspended,  beginning  with  the  youngest  man  in  the  service.  Any  conductor  sus- 
pended under  this  rule  will  assume  his  seniority  as  brakeman  and  still  retain  his 
seniority  as  conductor  and  be  placed  on  his  run  as  additional  crews  are  required. 
This  rule  will  also  apply  to  extra  passenger  crews,  train  and  yardmen.  When 
there  is  not  enough  extra  running  to  enable  the  extra  crews  to  make  reasonable 
wages,  the  youngest  conductor  may  run  his  caboose  on  freight  or  take  his  bag-

gency men  or  to  reduction  of  force.

allowed  as  per  reports,  and  reason  given  for  not  allowing  same. 

17.  When  a  crew  is  ordered  out  and  not  used  on  account  of  train  being  aban- 
doned or  other  cause,  they  will  be  allowed  pay  for  time  held  on  duty,  and  will  re- 
ceive a  minimum  of  one-third  of  a  day's  pay,  and  stand  first  out.  When  a  train-

nection with  his  other  duties. 

2.  Yardmen  will  be  permitted  to  take  their  noon  or  midnight  meal  hour  im-

the  company  that  men  shall  make  an  average  of  S-SOO  miles  per  month.  Whenever, 
in  the  judgment  of  the  trainmen  there  are  too  many  crews,  a  committee  of  trainmen 
in  good  standing  employed  on  the  division,  may  call  the  attention  of  the  train- 
master or  superintendent  to  such  surplus  of  men,  when  the  matter  will  be  fully 
investigated  and  if  conditions  are  found  to  warrant  it,  a  reduction  in  forces  will  be 
made;  such  reduction  to  be  made  in  the  order  of  promotion.  Nothing  in  this 
article,  however,  shall  prevent  the  superintendent  from  increasing  or  decreasing 
forces  at  his  discretion.  Every  employe  should  understand  that  it  is  his  privilege

except  as  in  first  clause  of  this  article.  List  of  trainmen  shall  be  placed  where 
trainmen  can  see  it  daily. 

The  company  on  its  part,  and  the  conductors  and  brakemen  on  their  part, 
agree  that  they  will  perform  the  several  duties  and  stipulations  provided  for  in  this 
agreement  until  sixty  days  notice  has  been  given  by  either  party  to  the  other,  re

[Note:  Later,  by  vote  of  the  men,  and  agreement  with  the  management, 
Articles  26  and  35  were  abrogated.  Still  later  the  general  superintendent  issued 
the  following:] 

Galveston,  Texas,  March  15th,  1897. 
Mr.  J.  W.  Dickinson, 

Division  Superintenden*:,  Temple. 
Mr.  M.  R.  Pendell, 

Acting  Division  Superintendent,  Cleburne. 

Dear  Sir:— I  wish  you  would  carefully  look  over  your  record  of  trainmen,  con- 
ductors and  brakemen,  and  make  a  roster  showing  the  dates  of  men  promoted  to 
positions  as  conductors,  and  the  dates  of  men  employed  as  brakemen.  The  date 
of  a  conductor  is  to  date  when  he  was  first  regularly  called  as  conductor,  and  when 
he  went  out  on  the  road  as  such;  and  in  case  of  any  dispute  this  can  be  confirmed 
by  the  train  sheet.  The  date  that  a  man  is  examined  cuts  no  figure— it  is  the  actual 
date  that  a  man  first  run  his  train  as  conductor  that  he  takes  his  date  from.  In  re- 
ducing the  force  of  conductors,  the  oldest  conductor  should  have  the  preference; 
the  same  in  the  reduction  of  force  of  brakemen.  The  conductor  takes  his  age  as 
conductor,  also  his  age  as  brakeman;  in  other  words,  a  conductor  does  not  date 
over  a  brakeman  employed  before  him,  or  further  still,  a  conductor  has  no  rights 
as  a  brakeman  except  as  to  the  date  of  his  employment  as  a  brakeman. 

In  the  employment  of  conductors  and  the  promotion  of  brakemen  to  conductors, 
please  observe  the  following  rule:  "Promote  at  least  two  brakemen  to  one  con- 
ductor hired,  and  in  case  it  is  necessary  to  hire  a  conductor,  please  submit  the 
matter  to  me  before  doing  so."  As  a  rule,  I  prefer  to  have  conductors  made  from 
our  own  ranks.  If  we  have  not  got  men  here  to  make  conductors  of,  then  it  is  the 
fault  in  hiring  the  men,  and  not  of  the  men  themselves.  I  would  prefer  as  a  rule, 
instead  of  hinnjsf  outside  men,  to  promote  men  out  of  age  when  it  comes  our  turn 
to  make  promotions. 

I  understand  the  roster  of  the  Northern  division  has  been  agreed  on,  and  is 
satisfactory  to  the  men  as  it  now  stands.  This  being  the  case,  Mr.  Pendell  will 
please  post  his  roster  as  it  now  is. 

Please  acknowledge  receipt.  Yours  truly, 

C.  F.  RESSEGUIE. 

SUPPLEMENTS. 

Galveston.  April  14th,  1893. 
As  an  adjustment  of  the  questions  now  at  issue  concerning  short  turn- around 
runs,  and  the  recent  proposition  of  the  company  to  run  them  in  connection  with 
through  trips,  running  crews  and  engines  through  division  terminals  and  around 
other  crews  and  engines  there  at  that  time,  it  is  hereby  agreed: 

In  connection  with  Articles  1,  2,  15  and  18,  of  the  engineers'  and  firemen's  con- 
tract; and  with  Articles  2,  6,  13  and  18  of  the  conductors*  and  trainmen's  contract, 
train  and  engine  crews  may  be  called  for  one  or  more  turn-around  trips  between 
the  same  points  between  Cleburne  and  Cresson,  Cleburne  and  Alvarado,  Sealj^and 
Rosenburg,  Temple  and  Belton,  or  any  other  points  within  twenty  miles  of  Gaines- 
ville, Cleburne,  Temple  or  Sealy,  and  when  so  called  may  be  run  between  the  same 
points  for  more  than  one  trip,  and  for  the  service  rendered  will  be  paid  on  the  basis 
of  ten  hours  or  100  miles  for  a  day's  work  with  regular  allowance  for  mileage  in  ex- 
cess of  100  miles,  and  overtime. 

After  making  one  short  turn  if  relieved  crew  will  go  behind  other  crews  at  that 
point,  and  if  not  called  within  ten  hours  from  the  time  first  called  100  miles  will  be 
allowed;  if  called  within  ten  hours  for  another  run,  the  crew  will  be  allowed  ten 
miles  per  hour  up  to  the  time  called  for  the  second  run.  On  more  than  one  short 
turn  men  will  be  considered  as  on  duty  continuously  from  one  hour  after  the  time 
they  are  called  until  relieved  from  duty  at  the  division  terminal. 

Crews  and  engines  on  these  turn-around  trips  will  not  be  run  through  the  divi- 
sion terminals  on  any  other  run  in  connection  with  the  turn-around  when  there  are 
other  crews  and  engines  for  that  division  there  and  ready  for  service.  When  men 
are  relieved  from  this  service,  whether  they  have  made  one  trip  or  more,  they  will 
go  behind  other  crews  then  at  the  division  terminal. 

The  service  on  short  turn-arounds  hereunder  will  be  given  to  the  train  and  en- 
gine men  of  the  division  to  which  the  work  would  naturally  belong  when  they  are 
available. 

Crews  in  this  service  will  not  be  kept  on  duty  longer  than  sixteen  consecutive 
hours,  if  they  claim  to  need  rest. 

In  consideration  of  the  above,  all  decisions,  bulletins  or  other  orders  which  in 
any  manner  change  or  interfere  with  the  accepted  interpr-.tation  and  application

Rules  relating  to  conductors— Effective  August  1.5,  1893;  reissued  Feb.  S>  1900. 
The  following  articles  are  hereby  assented  to  by  both  parties: 

1.  The  occupation  of  a  conductor  is  one  that  requires  a  knowledge  of  the 
schedules  of  time  governing  the  road  on  which  he  is  employed,  as  well  as  those 
issued  by  connecting  lines;  a  proper  interpretation  of  the  rules  issued  therewith, 
and  under  which  all  trains  are  operated.  This,  with  proper  experience,  good  judg- 
ment, considerable  ability,  and  service  previously  rendered  by  the  occupant  of 
such  a  position  (in  the  railway  service),  together  with  the  required  character  and 
ability  of  the  person  himself,  dignifies  such  occupation  as  a  distinct  profession. 

2.  Persons  hereafter  appointed  conductors  snould  be  men  of  undoubted  repu- 
tation, good  morals,  temperate  habits  and  with  an  experience  in  train  service  on 
any  line  of  road  of  not  less  than  three  years.  It  is  believed  that  the  Order  of  Rail- 
way Conductors  is  largely  composed  of  men  furnishing  the  necessary  qualifica- 
tions, and,  so  far  as  it  can  be  done  consistently,  such  persons  should  have  prefer- 
ence in  the  filling  of  v^icancies,  when  it  can  be  done  witn  proper  regard  for  efficiency 
in  the  service,  which  necessitates  at  times  promotions  from  the  ranks. 

3.  Priority  in  service  as  conductor  shall  hereafter  govern  in  all  cases  of  pro- 
motion from  freight  to  passenger  runs,  merit  being  equal,  this  to  be  determined  by 
the  superintendent,  subject  to  appeal  to  the  general  superintendent,  it  being  under- 
stood that  the  rule  to  be  generally  pursued  does  not  permit  of  transferring  an  em- 
ploye from  one  division  to  another,  to  the  detriment  of  the  division  employes.  The 
future  choice  of  runs  shall  be  based  upon  this  principle. 

4.  Any  conductor  who  deems  that  an  injustice  has  been  done  him  shall  within 
ten  days  make  written  statement  of  the  facts  in  the  premises,  and  submit  it  to  his 
division  superintendent,  and  at  the  same  time  may  designate  any  other  conductor 
who  may  be  in  the  employ  of  the  company  at  the  time  on  the  same  division,  and 
the  superintendent,  together  with  the  party  aggrieved  and  the  conductor  last  re- 
ferred to,  shall  investigate  the  case  in  question,  and  if  their  decision  is  not  satis- 
factory, the  conductor  shall  have  the  right  of  further  appeal  to  the  next  hij?her 
officer  in  rank,  and  from  him  in  proper  order  to  the  general  manager.  When  at 
all  practicable,  such  investigation  shall  be  made  within  five  days  of  the  date  of  the 
receipt  of  the  communication  from  the  conductor,  and  in  case  the  aforesaid  charges 
are  not  sustained,  he  shall  be  reinstated  and  paid  one  half  time  for  all  time  lost. 
Any  grievance  that  may  arise  on  the  part  of  conductors  shall  be  presented  in  writ- 
ing to  the  superintendent  of  the  division  by  the  party  aggrieved,  within  sixty  days 
of  its  occurrence.  No  attention  shall  be  paid  to  grievances  unless  presented  in 
writing  within  the  time  specified  above. 

5.  When  conductors  are  laid  off  on  account  of  dullness  of  business,  it  shall  be 
done  in  the  order  of  the  dates  of  their  employment  as  conductor,  beginning  with 
the  conductor  last  employed. 

6.  Conductors  having  charge  of  trains  will  be  held  responsible  for  their  safe 
management,  and  shall  have  a  right  to  place  their  brakemen  as  their  best  judg- 
ment may  dictate,  so  long  as  it  does  not  conflict  wi  h  the  rules. 

7.  Time  of  freight  conductors  shall  be  computed  on  the  basis  of  100  miles  or 
less  for  a  day's  work.  All  time  made  by  freight  conductors  while  on  the  road  be- 
tween terminal  points,  in  excess  of  ten  miles  per  hour,  and  all  time  made  by  pas- 
enger  conductors  while  on  the  road  between  terminal  points,  in  excess  or  eight 
hours  per  100  miles,  will  be  considered  overtime. 

Fieight  conductors,  with  their  crews,  making  a  single  run  over  their  respective 
freight  divisions  with  passenger  train  or  passenger  equipment,  shall  be  paid  regu- 
lar freight  rates  thereror.

8.  When  conductors  are  held  in  for  snow  plow  service,  they  will  be  allowed 
regular  pay  for  each  day  of  twenty-four  hours  so  held  subject  to  orders,  on  the 
basis  of  ten  hours  and  ten  miles  per  hour.  When  conductors  are  required  to  coal 
upengfines  by  shoveling,  they  will  be  allowed  regular  pay  for  actual  time  consumed 
in  coaling,  except  on  branch  runs. 

9.  Wnen  good  cause  can  be  shown  for  doubling  h.lls,  the  pay  shall  be  on  the 
basis  of  actual  time  consumed.  Conductors  deadheading  on  company  business 
will  be  paid  half  mileage.  When  required  by  this  company  to  attend  court,  they 
shall  be  paid  at  the  rate  of  $3.00  per  day  of  twenty-four  hours,  and  their  necessary 
expenses  during  attendance,  for  all  time  lost  while  awaiting  the  company's  orders, 
and  for  such  time  as  they  may  lose  while  waiting  to  take  their  runs. 

10.  Delayed  time  at  terminal  stations  before  leaving  will  be  paid  for  full  delay, 
if  delayed  one  hour.  If  delayed  thirty  minutes  at  terminal  station  after  arriving, 
one  hour's  time  will  be  allowed.  In  computing  delayed  time  before  leaving  it  is 
understood  that  one  full  hour  must  be  consumed  before  time  will  be  allowed;  if 
one  hour  and  thirty  minutes,  two  hours,  and  so  on.  After  arriving  at  terminal 
station,  one  hour  will  be  allowed  after  thirty  minutes'  delay;  two  hours  after  one 
hour  and  thirty  minutes'  delay,  and  so  on. 

All  construction  service  performed  by  road  conductors  at  U  minal  points  not 
rejjularly  assigned  to  construction  work,  will  be  paid  for  at  regular  construction 
rates.  If  more  than  five  hours  are  consumed  in  this  service,  the  conductor  will 
not  be  considered  first  out  in  any  class  of  service  except  construction.  Conductors 
required  to  do  construction  work  between  terminals  will  be  paid  actual  mileage 
for  miles  run  on  freight  or  passenger,  and  construction  pay  for  such  construction 
service,  at  the  established  rate  for  fractions  of  a  day  on  construction. 

In  road  service,  extra  or  overtime  will  not  be  allowed  for  terminal  switching, 
delays  at  terminal  stations  or  delays  between  terminals  (see  articles  7,  8,  10, 11  and 
12),  except  such  as  may  be  in  excess  either  of  one  day  of  ten  hours  or  100  miles. 

11.  A  caller  shall  be  provided  at  the  end  of  each  main  division  for  calling 
freight  conductors  living  within  one  mile  of  caboose  track,  who  shall  have  a 
register  book  and  have  written  therein  the  train  and  the  time  the  men  are  called 
for,  the  time  of  calling  and  their  names,  which  shall  be  signed  by  the  conductor 
when  called. 

Time  of  conductors  shall  begin  from  the  time  the  train  is  ordered  for,  as  shown 
on  order  for  calling,  and  shall  continue  to  the  time  they  are  relieved  at  the  end  of 
the  run. 

Conductors  will  be  notified  by  the  superintendent  when  time  is  not  allowed  as 
per  time  slips,  and  reason  given  why  it  was  not  allowed. 

12.  Freight  conductors  called  to  make  a  trip  shall  be  paid  for  three  hours' 
time,  on  the  basis  of  regular  rates  which  they  are  receiving,  provided  the  train  is 
afterward  annulled,  and  conductor  relieved,  and  shall  occupy  the  same  position 
they  did  before  they  were  ordered  out. 

When  freight  conductors  are  required  to  switch  at  terminals  thirty-five  minutes 
or  more,  time  shall  be  allowed  except  on  branch  runs. 

13.  The  following  rates  of  pay  will  be  allowed  conductors:

Extra  mileage  over  the  maximum  here  established  for  passenger  conductors 
will  be  paid  for  at  proportionate  rates. 

Freight  conductors  on  all  branches,  where  mileage  is  seventy-five  miles  or  less 
per  day,  will  be  paid  $75.00  per  month.  When  mileage  is  more  than  seventy-five 
miles  and  less  than  100  miles,  100  miles  per  day  at  three  cents  per  mile  will  be  paid, 
and  when  such  branch  freight  runs  exceed  100  miles  per  day,  actual  mileage  will 
be  allowed  at  three  cents  per  mile. 

When  practicable  there  shall  be  no  greater  number  of  through  freight  crews 
employed  on  any  division  than  can  reasonably  be  expected  to  make  three  thousand 
(3,000)  miles  per  month.

14.  Promotions  and  preferments  will  be  based  upon  merit  and  the  general 
record  of  the  men,  and  not  entirely  upon  their  age  or  duration  of  service.  Evidence 
of  the  willingness  of  conductors  to  serve  the  best  interests  of  the  company  at  all 
times,  in  whatever  capacity  assigned,  and  care  for  the  company's  property,  will 
always  be  considered  as  meriting  reward. 

The  articles  enumerated  above  constitute,  in  their  entirety,  the  agreement  be- 
tween this  company  and  its  conductors,  and  all  rules  previously  in  effect  are  by 
this  agreement  abolished.  No  departure  from  them  will  be  made  by  any  party 
thereto,  except  after  thirty  days'  notice  of  such  desire  in  writing  has  been  served 
upon  the  other  party  thereto.

W.  H.  STILLWELL, 
Supt.  Lines  West  of  Missouri  River. 

The  following  constructions  are  agreed  to: 

3.  Passenger  conductors  should  be  promoted  from  freight  conductors,  gov- 
erned by  time  in  company's  service,  if  they  are  in  all  ways  qualified  to  handle  and 
care  for  the  traveling  public.  If  not  so  qualified  the  reason  shall  be  made  known 
to  them  by  their  superintendent. 

4.  It  is  not  only  expected,  but  desired  on  the  part  of  the  company,  that  the 
conductor  who  seeks  a  re- investigation  shall  be  present  at  such  re-investigation, 
together  with  his  representative  and  the  division  superintendent  or  other  desig- 
nated officer. 

In  cases  where  road  engines  and  crews  are  sent  from  a  division  station  to  a  given 
pointonthe  road  to  do  switching  service  for  a  quarterto  one-half  day  or  more,  in  place 
of  the  switch  engine  and  crew,  actual  mileage  should  be  allowed  for  as  per  article 
10,  and  switching  time  allowed  for  actual  time  consumed  in  switching  on  the  basis 
of  ten  miles  per  nour.  However,  where  only  the  ordinary  switching  is  done  at  any 
station  by  the  road  crew,  the  overtime  rule  on  the  basis  of  the  ten  miles  per  hour 
between  termini  should  govern. 

10.  In  all  cases  of  delay  at  terminals,  such  as  "terminal  switching  and  terminal 
delays,"  where  neither  of  them,  singly,  would  entitle  the  men  to  time  under  the 
schedule,  they  will  be  combined,  and  if  such  combined  time  equals  thirty-five 
minutes  or  more,  and  less  than  one  hour  and  thirty  minutes,  they  will  be  allowed 
one  hour  terminal  switching;  if  one  hour  and  thirty  minutes  or  more,  time  will  be 
allowed  as  per  schedule,  and  charged  to  the  proper  service. 

11.  A  caller  should  be  provided  at  Trenton  and  Brooklyn,  with  a  register  book 
showing  the  train  the  men  are  called  for,  the  time  they  are  ordered  to  leave,  and 
the  time  of  calling,  followed  by  conductor's  signature,  and  the  time  of  the  con- 
ductor so  called  should  begin  from  the  time  the  train  is  diie  to  or  ordered  to  leave. 
Local  freight  trains  are  such  trains  as  handle  merchandise  peddling  freight.  Reg- 
ular passenger  conductors  called  or  required  to  do  extra  running,  or  sent  in  runs 
outside  of  their  regular  runs,  should  be  allowed  extra  time  at  the  regular  rate  as 
allowed  the  extra  runs  which  they  are  required  to  make.  Passenger  conductors 
laying  off,  not  having  made  the  required  maximum  mileage  for  the  month,  will  lose 
such  time. 

13.  Branch  crews  making  extra  trips  on  main  line  will  be  entitled  to  actual 
mileage  so  made,  at  the  rate  governing  such  service.

reissued  March  1,  1900. 

The  following  articles  are  hereby  assented  to  by  both  parties: 

1.  Priority  in  service  as  brakeman  shall  hereafter  govern  in  all  choice  of  runs, 
merit  being  equal.  The  question  of  merit  shall  be  determined  by  the  trainmaster 
or  assistant  superintendent,  with  the  understanding  that  the  general  rule  to  be 
followed  does  not  permit  of  transfer  from  one  trainmaster's  division  to  another  to 
the  detriment  of  division  employes. 

2.  No  brakeman  shall  be  dismissed  or  suspended  from  the  service  of  the  com- 
pany without  just  cause.

use  of  brakemen  in  yard  service  or  switchmen  in  road  service,  temporarily,  by  the 
company. 

3.  A  caller  shall  be  provided  at  the  end  of  each  main  division  whose  duty  it 
shall  be  to  call  for  duty  all  freight  brakemen  living  within  one  mile  of  caboose

4.  Delays  at  terminal  stations  before  leaving  shall  be  paid  for  in  full,  if  of  one 
full  hour.  For  delays  of  thirty  minutes  at  a  terminal  station  after  arriving,  one 
hour  shall  be  allowed. 

It  is  understood  that  one  full  h  '.r  of  delay  before  leaving  must  be  consumed 
before  any  time  is  allowed;  for  delays  of  one  hour  and  thirty  minutes,  two  hours

minals  shall  be  paid  actual  mileage  for  miles  run,  and  additional  construction  p^y 
for  construction  service,  at  the  established  rate  for  fractions  of  a  day  on  con- 
struction. 

5.  The  time  of  freight  brakemen  shall  be  computed  on  the  basis  of  1(K)  miles  or 
less  for  a  day's  work,  and  all  time  made  by  them  on  the  road  between  terminal 
points  in  excess  of  ten  miles  per  hour  shall  be  overtime. 

Brakemen  shall  be  notified  through  their  conductors  when  time,  as  per  slips,  is 
not  allowed,  with  the  reason  why  not  allowed. 

No  brakeman  shall  be  required  to  continue  on  duty  when  he  reasonably  needs 
rest,  but  in  extreme  cases  the  brakemen  on  their  part  will  do  all  in  their  power  to 
assist  the  company. 

6.  A  brakeman  sent  over  the  division  to  take  the  place  of  a  regular  man  in  ser-

also  for  all  time  lost  while  awaiting  the  company's  orders,  and  for  such  time  as 
they  may  lose  while  waiting  to  take  their  runs. 

(a)  When  extra  brakemtn  are  called  to  attend  court,  they  shall  be  placed, 
after  release  from  such  service,  where  they  would  have  been  if  not  absent  on  court

basis  of  actual  time  consumed. 

9.  When  practicable,  there  shall  be  no  greater  number  of  through  freight 
brakemen  employed  on  any  division  than  can  reasonably  be  expected  to  make3,0()() 
miles  per  month. 

Any  brakeman  suspended  from  the  service  under  this  article  will  be  given 
preference  for  re-employment  as  brakeman,  provided  that  his  previous  service  has 
been  satisfactory,  and  that  he  is  re-employed  within  ninety  days  of  such  suspension, 

(a)  When  it  becomes  necessary  for  the  company  to  increase  the  force  of 
brakemen  on  any  of  its  various  divisions,  experienced  brakemen,  as  far  as  prac- 
ticable, will  be  employed.  Nothing  in  this  article  shall  be  construed  to  prevent 
the  transfer  of  brakemen  from  a  division  which  has  a  surplus  to  a  division  on 
which  a  shortage  exists.  It  is  to  be  further  understood  that  nothing  in  this  article 
shall  prevent  an  officer  of  the  company  from  employing  inexperienced  men,  when, 
in  his  judgment,  the  good  of  the  service  demands  it. 

(b)  When  brakemen  are  laid  off  on  account  of  dullness  of  business,  it  shall 
be  done  in  the  order  of  their  employment  as  brakemen,  beginning  with  the  brake- 
man  last  employed. 

10.  When  brakemen  are  held  in  for  snow  plow  service,  they  shall  be  allowed 
regular  pay  for  each  day  of  twenty-four  hours  thus  held  subject  to  orders,  on  the 
basis  of  ten  hours  and  ten  miles  per  hour. 

When  brakemen  are  required  to  coal  up  engines  by  shoveling,  they  shall  be 
allowed  regular  pay  for  actual  time  consumed  thereby,  except  on  branch  runs.

Promotions  and  preferments  will  be  based  upon  merit  and  the  general  record 
of  tlie  men,  and  not  entirely  upon  their  aj^e  or  length  of  service.  P'vidcnce  of  the 
willingness  of  brakemen  to  serve  the  best  interests  of  the  company  at  all  times,  in 
whatever  capacity  assig-ned,  and  care  for  the  company's  property,  will  always  be 
considered  as  meriting  reward. 

The  articles  enumerated  above  constitute,  in  their  entirety,  the  agreement  be- 
tween this  company  and  its  freight  and  passenger  brakemen,  and  all  rules  pre- 
viouslv  in  effect  are  by  this  agreement  abolished.  No  departure  from  them  shall 
be  tnade  by  any  party  thereto,  except  after  thirty  days'  notice  of  such  desire  in 
writing  has  been  served  upon  the  other  party  thereto.

regular  assigned  runs  at  same  rate.

for  the  first  six  month's  service  as  conductor.  After  a  man  runs  a  train  six  months 
he  shall  receive  $75.  After  a  conductor  runs  for  twelve  calendar  months  he  shall 
receive  $78.  Local  freight  conductors  shall  receive  $82.50  per  month;  overtime  at 
the  same  rate. 

5.  All  delayed  time  will  be  paid  at  tne  rate  of  one  mile  for  every  six  minutes 
delayed. 

6.  Should  it  become  necessary  to  reduce  the  force  on  account  of  decreased 
business,  the  conductor  still  remains  in  the  employ  of  the  company  as  brakeman, 
and  he  shall  receive  the  highest  rate  paid  to  brakemen.  His  rights  as  a  conductor 
are  to  date  from  the  time  he  made  his  first  trip  as  conductor. 

7.  Where  passenger  crews  run  over  more  than  one  division,  the  oldest  freight 
conductor  on  either  division  will  be  considered  as  entitled  to  passenger  runs,  merit 
and  ability  for  increased  responsibility  to  govern. 

8.  Freight  conductors  will  be  notified  when  time  is  not  allowed  as  per  train 
report. 

9.  No  fault  to  be  found  with  a  conductor  refusing  to  take  two  inexperienced 
men  on  his  train  as  brakemen. 

10.  Local  freight  brakemen  shall  receive  $57  per  month; overtime  at  same  rate. 

11.  Through  freight  brakemen  to  get  two  cents  per  mile.

13.  Rules  for  computation:  The  monthly  compensation  is  to  be  based  on  a 
mileage  of  ?,t)00  miles  or  twenty-six  days  per  month,  and  any  excess  over  made  by 
freight  braKemen  will  be  paid  for  on  the  same  proportion  as  the  monthly  com- 
pensation is  to  2,GO0  miles. 

14.  The  rights  of  a  brakeman  commence  on  the  day  of  his  first  trip,  and  he 
shall  have  choice  of  runs  according  to  his  age  and  ability  on  schedule  runs. 

15.  The  employment  of  a  brakeman  is  placed  in  the  hands  of  the  division 
superintendent  or  their  representatives,  but  the  brakemen  will  in  all  cases  be 
placed  as  the  conductor's  best  judgment  may  dictate.  If  a  brakeman  transfers 
from  either  the  freight  or  passenger  department  to  the  other,  he  forfeits  all  rights 
in  the  department  which  he  leaves,  and  he  will  be  classed  as  a  new  employe,  ex- 
cept in  the  case  of  disability. 

16.  When  it  becomes  necessary  to  add  to  the  force  of  conductors,  men  shall  be 

grqmoted  from  the  ranks  of  brakemen,  merit  and  ability  for  increased  responsi- 
ility  to  govern,  but  all  old  freight  brakemen  to  have  a  fair  and  impartial  examina-

lay of  his  examination  was  no  fault  of  his,  then  his  rights  shall  start  on  date  of 
hi-;  prom  )tion.  When  two  or  more  con  kutors  are  examined  on  the  same  date,  the 
one  longest  in  the  service  will  be  considered  the  oldes\  The  rights  of  seniority  of

ning with  the  youngest  men  in  the  service,  until  the  crews  remaining  are  able  to

least  one  year's  experience  as  a  conductor  in  road  service  on  a  steam  surface  railway, 
and  that  his  services  during  this  period  were  satisfactory.  In  other  words,  for  every 
three  (3)  trainmen  promoted  to  freight  conductors  according  to  their  seniority,  the 
oldest  experienced  conductor  in  the  service  as  a  brakeman  will  be  promott-d.

declined  to  accept  it  or  failed  to  make  application,  will  forfeit  all  rights  to  the 
position  to  the  person  accepting  it,  except  when  arun  maybe  discontinued,  thetrain- 
men  who  have  been  engaged  thereon  shall  be  entitled  to  any  other  run  that  is  held 
by  younger  men,  provided  they  do  not  become  successors  to  any  one  who  w^uldbe

twelve  hours  per  day.  Fractional  parts  of  an  hour  of  more  than  thirty  minutes

Time  of  extra  trains  will  be  computed  from  the  longest  schedule  time  of  trains 
of  same  class  on  current  time  table. 

On  all  trains,  delayed  time  will  be  paid  for  at  the  rate  of  28  cents  per  hour  for

thereof  in  excess  of  thirty  minutes  for  conductors,  and  19  cents  per  hour  or  frac- 
tion thereof  in  excess  of  thirty  minutes,  for  white  brakemen  and  15  cents  per  hour 
or  fraction  thereof  in  excess  of  thirty  minutes  for  colored  brakemen;  time  to  be 
computed  from  time  train  starts  or  one  hour  after  the  men  are  called  until  they  are 
relieved  from  wrecking  duty.  In  case  the  train  is  laid  up  in  order  to  give  the  men 
necessar>-  time  to  rest  and  sleep,  such  portion  of  time  will  be  deducted  from  the 
whole,  and  only  the  actual  time  on  duty  will  be  paid  for.  A  minimum  of  six  hours 
will  be  allowed,  but  no  mileage  paid. 

'J.  When  time  is  not  allowed  as  per  time  slip,  trainmen  will  be  advised  of  the 
amount  allowed. 

1(1.  Trainmen  on  special  train  or  pay  train  shall  be  paid  the  same  wages  as 
passenger  trainmen. 

11.  After  continuous  service  for  sixteen  hours  trainmen  will  be  allowed  eight 
hours  rest  before  being  called  to  go  out,  if  they  so  desire,  and  give  notice  thereof, 
except  in  case  of  wrecks,  washouts  and  other  emergencies. 

12.  When  freight  traffic  is  so  light  that  all  the  freight  crews  in  the  service  are 
able  to  make  reasonable  wages,  crews  will  be  laid  off  btnfinning  with  the  youngest 
men  in  the  service,  until  the  crews  that  remain  can  make  rc;asonable  wages.  Train- 
men suspended  from  service  under  this  rule  will  be  given  preference  when  the  busi- 
ness of  the  road  is  better. 

13.  Crews  will  not  be  required  to  run  off  their  respective  divisions,  except 
when,  in  the  opinion  of  the  officers,  the  emergencies  of  the  service  require  it.

service,  or  vice  versa;  but  re^^'ular  freight  brakemen  temporarily  assigned  to  pas- 
stn>,'er  service  shall  not  lose  their  rights  thereby.  In  case  of  emergency,  freight 
niL-n  will  v.ork  in  yard  service  not  to  exceed  ten  days  at  any  one  time. 

29.  Whenever  it  becomes  necessary  to  increase  the  force  of  conductors  on  any 
division,  one  conductor  will,  when  practicable,  b""  hired  to  two  brakemen  pro- 
inuted.  Wlien  hiring  conductors  under  this  rule  conductors  in  service  as  brake- 
nuii  will  be  given  preference,  dependent  upon  good  conduct  and  abilitv,  superin- 
tundont  to  decide.  No  braktman  will  be  promoted  who  has  not  had  at  least  three 
vears'  experiente  as  freight  brakenian  on  a  steam  surface  railway,  and  no  conduc- 
tor will  be  hired  who  has  not  had  at  least  two  years'  experience  as  conductor  on  a 
steam  surface  railway. 

30.  Trainmen  and  yardmen  will  be  promoted  on  their  respective  divisions  with 
reference  to  the  following,  the  superintendent  to  decide:  First,  fitness  for  position; 
second,  previous  record  for  faithful  service;  third,  length  of  service.  Trainmen 
asr-i.uned  to  other  duties  ma\'  bf  reinstated  in  their  former  position  as  trainmen  at 
tlif  discretion  of  the  superintendent. 

3\.  Before  a  man  can  rank  as  conductor  lie  will  be  sent  out  as  clerk  in  charge 
of  a  train,  accompanied  by  a  lirst-class  and  reliable  conductor.  It  will  be  the  duty 
of  the  candidate  to  take  full  charge  of  the  train,  doing  all  work  and  making  all  re- 
ports that  the  conductor  would  make,  and  it  will  be  the  duty  of  the  conductor  to 
watcli  such  work  and  see  that  no  mistakes  are  made  and  allowed  to  pass  without 
correction.  Three  round  trips  will  be  made  by  the  candidate  in  this  way,  under 
brakeman's  pay,  with  three  different  conductors,  and  the  conductor  will  in  each 
caso  be  reciuirtd  to  report  in  writing  upon  the  manner  in  which  work  is  done  and 
the  ii.bility  of  the  candidate  to  perform  the  duties  required.  If  favorable  reports 
are  received  from  the  three  conductors,  the  candidate  will  be  examined  on  the 
riik's,  ai'id,  })assing  such  examination,  will  be  available  to  take  charge  of  a  train  in 
iL':.;ular  turn  v.ht-n  needed.  If  one  of  the  three  conductors  makes  an  unfavorable 
report  on  the  candidate,  he  shall  have  the  privilege  of  making  a  fourth  trip  with  a 
fourth  conductor,  who  will  also  report  on  his  ability.  The  fourth  trip,  however,  to 
be  made  without  pay. 

32.  Trainmen  who  are  discharged  or  who  leave  the  service  voluntarily  with 
cons-ent  of  superintendent  and  are  returned  to  duty  or  re-employed  within  a  period 
of  six  months,  sh..'l  be  restored  to  their  former  rank;  if  re-employed  after  six 
months,  they  will  rank  as  new  inen. 

33.  In  the  ►  reduction  of  force,  trainmen  will  be  suspended  or  set  back, 
commencing  ■'*  ,  ,e  youngest  man  in  the  service.  A  man's  rank  as  conductor 
has  no  effect  ..p^  his  rank  as  brakeman,  and  should  it  become  necessary  to  re- 
duce the  force  to  such  an  extent  that  there  are  brakem-  n  older  in  the  service  than 
conductors  acting  as  brakemen,  all  things  being  equal,  the  brakeman,  on  account 
of  his  age  in  service,  shall  have  preference  as  to  employment;  but  when  the  num- 
ber of  conductors  is  iigain  increased,  the  conductor  so  suspended  on  occount  of 
the  seniority  of  the  brakeman,  will  resume  his  old  rank  as  conductor.  The  same 
rule  applies  in  case  of  passenger  conducto  s  reduced  to  freight  service. 

34.  In  case  of  lack  of  force  on  one  division  and  surplus  on  another,  trainmen 
niay  be  transferrc^d  temporarily  and  shall  lose  no  rights  on  original  division,  pro- 
vided they  return  within  six  months.  Such  men  will  not  be  paid  while  en  route 
from  one  point  to  another,  and  will  have  the  privilege  of  returning  before  the  force 
on  the  original  division  is  otherwise  increased;  if  permanently  transferred,  will 
rank  as  new  men  from  date  of  temporary  transfer. 

35.  Trainmen  not  assig;ned  to  regular  runs  will,  as  far  as  practicable,  run  first 
in  first  out,  on  district  or  division  to  which  they  are  assigned. 

3l>.  If  any  established  division  is  divided  and  any  portion  is  added  to  another 
division,  or  if  a  new  division  is  formed  therefrom  in  such  a  way  that  runs  ar 
changed,  trainmen  will  have  choice  of  division  upon  which  they  will  remain,  in 
accordance  with  their  seniority,  and  if  no  change  of  runs  is  caused  by  change  of 
divisions,  the  men  may  register  with  the  division  upon  which  they  wish  to  estab- 
lish tjieir  rights  cu.d  mane  change  when  vacancies  occur. 

37.  Adjistmf.nts.  Trainmen  charged  with  offenses  involving  either  suspen- 
sion or  discharge,  will  be  advised  in  writing  of  the  nature  of  offense  charged.  No 
trainman  will  be  suspended  or  discharged  without  proper  cause.  All  cases  will 
have  full  investigation  by  division  superintendent,  who  will  render  prompt  decis- 
i'ln.  All  parties  interested  will  be  notified  to  be  present.  If  party  is  not  satisfied 
with  such  decision,  he  may  appeal  to  next  higher  authority,  continuing  such  ap- 
peal, if  desired,  to  the  general  superintendent,  whose  decision,  when  approved  by 
the  general  manager,  shall  be  final. 

If  it  is  decided  that  the  man  is  blameless,  he  shall  be  immediately  reinstated 
and  sliall  be  paid  for  the  time  lost  on  account  of  such  suspension  or  discharge  at 
the  rate  of  one  day  or  one  hundred  miles  for  each  calendar  day.

ference is  desired,  and  date  and  time  will  be  fixed  as  soon  as  practicable.

down  to  correspond  with  the  volume  of  business,  so  that  they  may  make  not  less 
than  2,600  miles  per  month. 

In  reducing  tne  force  it  shall  be  done  in  the  order  of  date  of  employment  as 
conductor  and  brakemen,  bej^inning  with  the  one  last  employed. 

Men  will  be  called  at  terminals  as  designated  by  the  superintendent. 

Men  who  are  unable,  from  any  cause,  to  perform  service  must  send  notice  in 
ample  time  to  make  other  provisions,  and  to  avoid  being  called. 

When,  on  account  of  rearrangement  in  runs,  it  is  necessary  for  men  to  change 
their  places  of  residence,  free  transportation  will  be  furnished  for  their  families 
and  household  goods. 

If  a  conductor  and  crew  have  been  on  duly  an  excessive  time  they  may  lay  up 
between  terminals.  Permission  to  do  so  will  first  be  obtained  from  the  dispatcher, 
and  in  such  cases  the  time  laid  up  will  not  be  allowed,  except  to  the  man  or  men 
required  to  take  care  of  or  watch  engine,  who  will  be  allowed  the  regular  rate.  At 
terminals  crews  will  be  allowed  at  least  eight  hours  rest. 

Actual  suspension  from  duty  will  be  abolished. 

The  Superintendent  will  keep  the  personal  record  of  employes,  and  a  rec- 
ord will  be  made  of  each  occurrence  which  tends  to  indicate  that  a  man  is  incom- 
petent. In  the  more  important  cases  an  investigation  will  be  made,  and  if  the 
employe  is  then  believed  to  be  at  fault,  a  bulletin  will  be  posted  explaining  briefly 
wherein  the  employe  was  at  fault,  and  he  will  be  so  notified.  Such  bulletin  will  be 
simply  for  the  purpose  of  giving  instruction  to  other  employes,  and  no  names  will 
be  given. 

When  a  man's  personal  record,  considering  the  length  of  time  covered,  is  ma- 
terially worse  than  the  general  average,  he  may  be  dismissed  for  the  good  of  the 
service ;  otherwise,  no  employe  will  be  dismissed  unless  in  cases  of  insubordina- 
tion, dishonesty  or  drunkenness,  except  when  it  is  necessary  to  reduce  the  force. 

The  general  record  of  a  man  will  be  used  to  determine  his  fitness  for  promo- 
tion; everything  being  equal,  the  oldest  man  will  be  given  preferment. 

All  previous  rules  or  rates  conflicting  with  the  foregoing  are  hereby  abolished.

Rules  of  service  and  rates  of  pay  of  train  men;  taking  effect  January  1,  1899. 

FREIGHT  SERVICE. 

1.  There  shall  be  two  grades  of  conductors  and  brakemen,  based  on  length  of 
service. 

A  senior  conductor  is  one  who  has  run  as  conductor  15,000  miles  or  over. 

A  junior  conductor  is  one  who  has  run  as  conductor  less  than  15,000  miles. 

A  senior  brakeman  is  one  who  has  been  employed  more  than  three  months. 

A  junior  brakeman  is  one  who  has  been  employed  less  than  three  months. 

A  senior  brakeman  dismissed  account  slack  business  and  re-employed  within 
one  year  will  be  re-employed  as  senior  brakeman.  Passenger  train  men  will  have 
no  rights  in  freight  service  by  virtue  of  seniority  in  passenger  service. 

2.  The  right  to  promotion  and  choice  of  runs  will  be  governed  by  merit, 
ability  and  seniority;  the  general  rule  being  the  man  longest  in  continuous  service 
to  have  preference,  the  superintendent  to  be  the  judge  as  to  qualifications. 

Brakemen  before  being  regularly  promoted  to  conductors  will  be  examined 
as  to  their  competency  and  litness  by  the  superintendent  or  his  representative. 

Brakemen  failing  to  pass  the  examination,  may,  at  the  discretion  of  the  super- 
intendent, be  re-examined  after  six  months. 

In  computing  seniority,  brakemen  date  from  the  date  of  entering  service,  con- 
ductors date  from  date  they  were  promoted  after  examination. 

Trainmen  on  divisions  north  and  south  of  Iowa  Falls  will  be  considered  sep- 
arately for  promotion  in  freight  service  ;  but  in  promoting  conductors  from  freight 
to  passenger  service  the  road  shall  be  considered  as  a  whole  in  considering 
seniority. 

.3.  Certain  runs,  designated  by  the  superintendent,  will  have  regular  crews 
assigned  them  ;  unassigned  crews  will  run  first  in  first  out. 

Regular  runs  open  Tor  conductors  shall  be  bulletined  at  Cedar  Rapids  and 
Esth^rville  for  onei  we«k.  after  which  men  will  be  assigned  as  per  Rule  2. 

Conductors  after  tieing  riegtilarly  assijgned  to  wisty  freight  trains  will  be  ex-

pected  and  allowed  to  remain  on  them  for  one  year,  provided  their  services  are 
satisfactory  to  the  company,  regardless  of  ajje  in  the  service. 

Brakemen  af  er  beine:  rej^ularly  assigned  to  way  freights  will  be  expected  and 
allowed  to  remain  on  them  for  one  year,  provided  their  services  are  satisfactory, 
regardless  of  age,  except  when  on  account  of  slack  business  the  operation  of  this 
rule  will  cause  the  dismissal  of  men  older  than  those  on  way  freights. 

The  same  rule  will  apply  to  crews  assigned  to  regular  runs  requiring  them  to 
lay  away  from  Cedar  Rapids  or  Es'herville  over  Sunday. 

4.  Conductors  are  held  responsible  for  the  safe  management  of  their  trains,  and 
will  place  their  brakemen  as  their  best  judgement  may  dictate.  They  may  object 
to  brakemen  for  cause,  objections  to  be  made  in  writing;  when  objections  are  sus- 
tained by  facts,  they  shall  be  furnished  other  men. 

A  conductor  shall  not  make  a  complaint  against  a  brakeman  and  ask  to  have 
him  changed  until  he  has  first  told  the  brakeman  his  services  were  unsatisfactory 
and  given  him  an  opportunity  to  improve  in  his  work  and  ask  for  a  change. 

57  Trainmen  will  be  allowed  at  least  ten  hours  rest  after  sixteen  hours  ab- 
sence from  home. 

In  the  event  of  the  inabilitv  of  a  conductor  to  go  out  with  his  crew  another 
conductor  will  be  substituted  for  the  round  trip,  when  possible. 

6.  At  division  headquarters  train  men  will  be  called,  as  nearly  as  practicable, 
one  hour  before  leaving  time,  for  all  trains  leaving  between  10:00  p.  m.  and  7:00  a. 
m.  For  trains  leaving  between  those  times  only  crews  of  irregular  trains  will  be 
called. 

The  caller  will  be  provided  with  a  book  in  which  trainmen  will  sign  their 
names  and  register  the  time  they  were  called. 

When  it  is  known  that  a  regular  train,  due  to  leave  between  7:00  a.  m.  and  10:00 
p.  m.,  will  be  late  it  will  be  noted  on  bulletin  board,  giving  time  train  is  expected 
to  leave,  and  when  a  train  to  which  a  regular  crew  is  assigned  is  annulled  the 
crew  will  be  notified. 

7.  All  accidents,  charges  of  negligence,  or  infraction  of  discipline  shall  be 
investigated  as  promptly  as  possible. 

In  case  a  train  man  has  been  held  off  his  run  pending  the  investigation,  and 
upon  investigation  is  found  blameless,  he  will  be  paid  for  the  time  held  off. 

In  case  the  result  of  investigation  is  against  the  train  man,  and  he  is  dis- 
ciplined, if  he  deems  the  sentence  unjust  he  shall  have  the  right  of  appeal  to  the 
superintendent  for  a  rehearing.  If  the  decision  of  the  superintendent  is  deemed 
unjust  he  shall  have  the  further  right  of  appeal  to  the  general  superintendent. 

8.  Leaves  of  absence  will  be  granted  trainmen  on  account  of  sickness  of  them- 
selves or  families. 

When  they  are  desired  for  other  good  and  sufficient  reasons  they  will  be 
granted,  provided  due  notice  is  given  that  other  men  may  be  gotten. 

No  leave  of  absence  will  be  granted  for  more  than  three  months  except  in  case 
of  sickness,  when  it  may  be  renewed. 

9.  The  company  will  retain  in  its  employ  only  so  many  men  as  are  necessarj- 
to  do  the  work  and  enable  the  men  to  earn  a  reasonable  monthly  compensation, 
2,600  miles  per  month  is  considered  such  reasonable  monthly  compensation. 

10.  Train  men  leaving  the  service  will  be  furnished  a  "clearance"  stating  the 
length  of  time  employed,  capacity  of  employment,  character  of  service  and  cause 
of  leaving.

RILES  AIM'LYINC.  TO  PAY  OF  FREIGHT  CONDl'CTORS  AXD  BRAKEMEX. 

1.— Over  Time.  The  rate  of  pay  for  train  men  covers  such  delays  as  may  be 
incident  to  the  operation  of  their  trains.  When  such  delays  cause  the  lengtn  of 
time  consumed  on  the  road,  estimated  on  the  basis  of  ten  miles  per  hour,  to 
amount  to  more  than  the  regular  mileage  allowance  of  that  run,  overtime  will  be 
allowed  as  follows:  For  the  first  fifteen  minutes,  no  overtime  ;  from  fifteen  to  forty- 
five  minutes,  one  half  hour,  or  five  miles,  overtime;  from  forty-five  minutes  to  one 
hour,  one  hour,  or  ten  miles  overtime. 

2.— Work  Traixs.  Crew.s  assigned  regularly  to  work  trains,  workine  for  the 
season  at  some  particular  point,  will  be  paid  full  time  regardless  of  lengtn  of  time 
worked,  or  if  train  lays  up  and  does  not  work. 

Crews  assigned  to  gravel  trains  will  be  paid  on  the  mileage  basis,  unless  the 
dailv  mileage  amounts  to  less  than  10()  miles,  when  100  miles  will  be  allowed. 

Temporary  work  trains  will  be  allowed  mileage  from  headquarters  to  working 
limits  and  return,  and  ten  miles  per  hour  for  time  consumed  m  working,  deduct- 
int;  one  hour  for  dinner.  When  work  requires  more  than  one  day,  mnnine  to  coal 
and  water  stations  to  lay  up  for  the  night  will  be  included  in  hears  worked,  and 
will  not  be  paid  for  on  the  mileage  basis. 

Crews  working  in  connection  with  steam  shovel  will  be  paid  at  way-freight, 
and  other  work  trains  at  through  freight,  rates. 

On  work  trains  using  a  cable  it  will  be  the  duty  of  train  men  to  handle  cable 
on  the  cars. 

3.— Termixal  Switchixc.  As  a  rule  no  pay  will  be  allowed  for  doing  work  at 
terminals  where  a  switch  engine  is  not  employed. 

On  runs  over  100  miles,  when  the  average  time  required  for  doing  the  terminal 
work  exceeds  an  hoar,  the  case  will  be  considered  on  its  merits. 

On  runs  less  than  100  miles,  for  which  100  miles  are  allowed  no  time  will  be 
allowed  for  switching  until  the  time  consumed  in  switching,  computed  at  the  rate 
of  ten  miles  per  hour,  together  with  the  actual  mileage  of  the  run.  equals  the 
number  of  miles  paid  for. 

Where  switch  engines  are  employed  yardmen  will  do  all  switching,  as  a  rule. 
Temporary  arrangements  may  be  made  requiring  trainmen  to  do  yard  work  in 
connection  with  their  own  trains.  In  such  cases  the  leaving  time  of  the  train,  for 
the  purpose  of  computing  over  time,  if  any,  shall  be  the  time  crew  was  called  to 
work  ;  or  if  switching  is  done  after  arrival  of  train  at  its  terminus,  the  time  men 
finished  work.  If  time  for  which  trainmen  were  called  to  begin  switching  until 
they  finish  work  at  the  end  of  run,  computed  on  the  basis  of  ten  miles  per  hour, 
amounts  to  less  than  the  regular  mileage  allowance  of  the  run,  no  overtime  will 
be  allowed. 

Trainmen  called  to  do  switching  not  connected  with  their  own  trains,  in  yards 
where  switch  engines  are  employed,  will  be  paid  at  the  rate  of  ten  miles  per  hour 
at  their  regular  scale  of  pay. 

After  arrival  at  terminals,  if  head  brakeman,  after  cutting  engine  off  from 
train,  is  unable  to  get  engine  to  round  house  track  within  thirty  minutes  he  will 
be  allowed  overtime  tor  the  delay  unless  relieved  by  a  switchman. 

4.— Traixs  Axxulled  After  Crews  Are  Called.  Trainmen  called  and  re- 
porting for  a  run  which  is  afterward  annulled  will  be  paid  at  the  rate  of  ten  miles 
per  hour  from  the  time  they  were  called  until  notified  train  was  annulled,  and  in 
case  of  a  crew  running  first  m  first  out,  they  shall  stand  first  out  as  regards  other 
crews  running  first  in  first  out. 

5.— Devdhe  VDix.;.  Men  deadheading  by  order  of  the  company  will  receive 
full  time  for  deadheading  on  freight  and  one-half  time  on  passenger  trains.  For 
crews  running  firsv  in  first  out,  the  first  crew  out  will  deadhead  and  stand  out 
ahead  of  crews  handling  trains. 

6.— Freight  Mex  ox  Passenger  Trains.    The  rates  of  pay  for  regular  passen- 
ger service,  apply  to  freight  men  assigned  temporarily  to  that  service,  unless  their 
earnings  on  this  basis  are  less  *'-''n  they  would  have  been  for  the  same  time  in 
freight  service,  in  which  case  th, 
m  freight  service. 

7.— Doubling  Hills.  When  a  train  doubles  a  hill  on  an  order  of  the  company 
the  crew  will  be  paid  ten  miles  for  doubling.  But  when  it  is  necessary  to  double 
in  the  ordinary  operation  of  a  train  it  will  be  considered  as  an  incident  "of  the  trip, 
and  no  extra  pay  will  be  allowed. 

8— Cr  •""•'ixG  Mileage.  All  mileage  allowed  a  junior  conductor  during  the 
month  w  redited  him  in  computing  his  mileage.

ROBERT  WILLIAMS. 

Vice-President  and 
General  Superintendent. 


LOUISVILLE  &  NASHVILLE  RAILROAD. 


Aj?reement  between  the  Louisville  &  Nashville  Railroad  Company  and  its 
trainmen,  taking  effect  November  1,  1891,  with  revised  rates  in  effect  May  1,  1900. 

1.  Ther<;  shall  be  established  on  each  division  a  board  of  inquir>',  to  consist 
of  the  superintendent  or  assistant  superintendent  (or  both),  the  master  of  trains 
and  the  master  mechanic,  or  his  representative  (or  both),  whose  duty  it  shall  be  to 
investigate  accidents. 

In  case  employes  are  suspended  to  appear  before  this  board,  they  will  be  given 
a  hearing  within  five  (5^  days,  and  will  receive  prompt  notice  of  the  result  of  the 
investigation.    All  punishment  shall  consist  of  suspension  or  discharge. 

It  shall  not  be  necessarj'  to  convene  the  Board,  except  for  the  investigation  of 
accidents. 

If  the  parties  punished  by  the  board,  or  otherwise,  desire  it,  they  may  appeal, 
first,  through  the  master  of  trains  to  the  superintendent  and  then  through  the 
superintendent  of  transportation  to  the  general  manager. 

All  appeals  must  be  presented  to  the  superintendent  or  master  of  trains  with- 
in thirty  (jO)  days  after  the  decision  of  the  board  shall  have  been  made  known. 

Should  the  employes  suspended  be  found  innocent,  they  will  be  paid  for  the 
time  the  suspension  was  in  effect — conductors  $2.85  per  day,  and  brakemen,  bag- 
gagemen, and  yardmen  $1.75per  day. 

To  enable  the  division  officers  to  make  investigation,  reports  must  be  made  to 
the  proper  officer  at  the  end  of  each  trip. 

2.  Road  delay  time  will  be  allowed  conductors  and  brakemen  after  the  schedule 
of  the  train  shall  have  been  exceeded  two  hours,  at  the  rate  of  thirty  (30)  and 
eighteen  (18)  cents,  respectively,  per  hour,  for  ever>'  hour  and  fractional  part 
thereof.  When  a  train  has  been  delayed  to  exceed  two  hours,  the  first  two  hours 
will  be  counted. 

In  case  schedules  are  changed  on  the  road,  road  delay  time  will  be  computed 
from  schedule  departed  on. 

Wages  shall  be  ''omputed  from  one  hour  after  the  men  are  called,  or  the  time 
that  the  train  departs,  it  earlier. 

Road  delay  time  for  extra  trains  shall  be  arrived  at  by  taking  the  average  time 
of  the  schedule  trains  on  the  division,  passenger  or  freight,  as  the  case  may  be. 
except  that  on  the  Pensacola  &  Atlantic  Road  the  schedule  of  extra  freight  trains 
running  between  terminals  shall  be  computed  at  the  rate  of  twelve  and  one-half 
miles  per  hour. 

3.  Yard  delay  time  at  terminals  shall  be  allowed  at  the  rate  of  thirty  (30)  and 
eighteen  (18)  cents,  respectively,  per  hour,  for  each  hour  or  fractional  part  thereof, 
auer  a  train  shall  have  been  delayed  within  the  yard  limits  beyond  thirty  minutes. 
Running  time  of  the  train  within  yard  limits  shall  not  be  considered.

When  delayed  immediately  outside  of  the  yard  limit  board,  trainmen  shall  be 
allowed  yard  delay  time  at  same  rate,  when  delay  exceeds  thirty  minutes. 

(Colored  brakemen  will  be  paid  for  delay  time  ten  per  cent  less  than  white 
men.) 

4.  Trainmen  will  be  called  not  to  exceed  one  hour  before  leaving  time  of  their 
trains,  as  at  present.  The  caller  shall  be  furnished  with  a  book,  which  must  be 
signed  by  the  men,  showing  the  time  that  they  are  called,  and  the  tim  :he  train  is 
to  depart.  Failing  to  respond  promptly,  whether  it  is  his  turn  out  or  i.  *t,  the  party 
at  fault  shall  be  suspended  or  discharged  at  the  discretion  of  the  master  of  trains. 

When  trainmen  come  in  on  their  runs,  and  are  not  able  for  duty,  they  must  so 
notify  the  master  of  trains  or  his  representative.  If,  afterward,  on  account  of 
sickness,  they  can  not  go  out,  they  must  send  a  written  notice  to  the  master  of 
trains  or  his  representative,  at  least  two  hours  before  they  are  needed. 

They  must  not  lay  off,  except  by  permission  of  an  authorized  officer,  unless 
they,  or  a  member  or  their  immediate  family,  are  suddenly  taken  sick,  in  which 
event  they  must  give  at  least  two  hours'  notice. 

5.  When  trainmen  are  called  to  go  out  between  the  hours  of  7  p.  m.  pnd  7  a. 
m..  and  the  train  is  afterward  annulled,  they  shall  be  allowed  three  hours,  at  the 
rate  of  thirty  (30)  and  eighteen  (18)  cents  per  hour,  respectively:  Provided,  they  are 
not  notified  they  will  be  required  for  another  schedule  train  within  one  hour.  When 
called  to  go  out  at  other  hours,  in  case  train  is  annulled,  they  shall  be  paid  at  the 
same  rates  per  hour;  but  time  shall  be  computed  from  one  hour  after  they  are 
called  until  they  are  notified  that  train  is  annulled.  Trainmen  thus  called  will 
stand  first  out:    Provided,  it  does  not  interfere  with  men  who  have  regular  runs. 

6.  P'or  attending  court  or  appearing  before  proper  persons  to  give  evidence,  con- 
ductors, baggagemen  and  brakemen,  having  regular  crews,  and  yardmen  having 
regular  worlc,  shall  be  paid  the  amount  that  they  would  have  made  had  they  per- 
formed their  usual  duties. 

This  shall  not  prevent  the  company  from  using  these  men  on  any  run  after 
they  are  through  attending  court,  and  before  their  regular  crews  are  due  to  leave. 

Other  conductors  and  brakemen  shall  be  paid  $3  and  $2  per  day,  respectively, 
computed  from  the  time  they  leave  their  homes,  or  the  time  they  are  marked  to  go 
out,  until  they  return. 

They  will  be  furnished  with  transportation  to  and  from  court.  No  pay  shall 
be  allowed  in  cases  where  the  time  so  consumed  does  not  interfere  with  the  men 
making  their  regular  trips  and  having  eight  (8)  hours'  rest,  if  they  require  it. 

7.  Conductors  and  brakemen  of  wrecking  trains  shall  be  paid,  respectively, 
thirty-five  ( ""'^^  and  twenty  (20)  cents  per  hour  or  fractional  part  thereof,  time  to  be 
computed  h  time  train  starts,  or  one  hour  after  the  men  are  called,  until  re- 
turn to  starting  point. 

In  case  the  train  is  laid  up  before  returning,  for  the  purpose  of  affording  the 
men  necessary  time  for  rest  and  sleep,  su'^h  proportion  of  the  time  shall  be  de- 
ducted from  tne  whole,  and  only  the  actual  time  on  duty  will  be  paid  for.  A  mini- 
mum of  six  hours  will  be  allowed,  but  no  mileage  will  be  paid. 

8.  Conductors  and  brakemen.  when  deadheading  on  a  freight  train,  will  be  al- 
lowed the  rate  of  paj-  given  the  same  class  of  men  that  are  in  charge  of  the  train.

regular  run  to  run  specials  or  extras,  he  shall  receive  three  (3)  cents  per  mile  for 
such  service.  When  a  passenger  conductor  doubles  for  such  conductor,  taken  off 
his  regular  run  he  shall  receive  such  compensation  as  such  conductor  would  receive 
in  addition  to  his  regular  salary. 

(2)  No  deduction  shall  be  made  for  anytime  lost  on  account  of  snow  blockades 
or  washouts. 

(3)  No  privileges  now  enjoyed  by  passenger  men  shall  be  abrogated. 

(4)  Extra  compensation  shall  be  allowed  passenger  men  for  all  mileage  made 
in  excess  of  that  stated  above,  except  on  suburban  trains,  and  where  the  mileage  is 
less  than  2,600  miles. 

(5)  On  divisions  where  extra  passenger  conductors  are  employed,  their  pay 
shall  be  one  hundred  dollars  ($100.00)  per  month,  and  they  shall  not  be  called  upon

(7)  Passenger  men  called  upon  to  do  freight  work  will  receive  the  same  'com-

Art.  2.  Riciits  and  Privilec.es  of  Passexc.er  Men.  (1)  The  rights  of  pas- 
senger baggagemen  and  brakemen  commence  on  the  day  of  their  first  trip,  and 
they  shall  have  the  choice  of  runs  to  which  their  ag  as  brakemen  or  baggagemen 
entitles  them,  provided  they  are  morally  and  intellectually  fitted  for  it  in  the  opinion 
of  their  superintendent. 

(2)  Passenger  brakemen  will  be  promoted  to  the  position  of  baggageman  in 
regular  order  where  they  are  competent,  the  superintendent  of  the  division  to  be 
the  judge. 

(3)  Extra  passenger  brakemen  will  be  promoted  to  regular  runs  according  to 
date  of  their  first  trip  in  passenger  service,  and  the  compensation  for  such  service 
will  be  the  same  as  the  brakemen  would  receive  for  whom  they  run. 

(4)  Passenger  men  will  be  allowed  to  lay  ofl:  on  account  of  sickness  of  them- 
selves or  their  families,  to  serve  on  committees  or  for  other  good  and  sufficient 
reasons,  providing  due  notice  is  given  the  proper  officer,  so  that  their  places  may 
be  filled. 

(5)  Anv  passenger  man  having  been  absent  to  exceed  six  (6)  consecutive

exceed  one  (1)  year,  nor  reinstatements  made  after  one  (1)  year's  continuous 
absence,  except  in  case  of  sickness. 

(6)  Where  passenger  crews  run  over  more  than  one  freight  division,  the  oldest 
passenger  men  will  be  considered  as  entitled  to  promotion  to  passenger  runs  as 
above.  Nothing  in  this  article  shall  be  considered  as  preventing  the  company  from 
employing  experienced  men  when  the  service  requires  it. 

(7)  When  a  passenger  man  leaves  one  division  of  his  own  accord  to  work  on 
another  division,  he  will  be  considered  a  new  employe,  but  should  he  be  trans- 
ferred by  order  of  the  company,  the  same  right  he  possessed  on  the  first  division 
will  be  retained  on  his  return. 

(8)  The  employment  of  brakemen  and  baggagemen  is  placed  in  the  hands  of 
the  division  superintendent,  but  brakemen  will  in  all  cases  be  placed  as  conduc- 
tor's best  judgment  may  dictate.

based  on  a  mileage  of  twenty-six  hundred  (2,600)  miles,  or  twenty-six  (26)  days  per 
month,  and  any  excess  over  this  made  by  freight  conductors  and  brakemen  will  be 
paid  for  in  the  same  proportion  as  the  monthly  compensation  is  to  twenty-six 
hundred  (2,600)  miles. 

(2)  If  the  mileage  of  a  freight  conductor  or  brakeman  falls  beiow  twenty-six 
hundred  (2,600)  miles  in  any  one  month,  and  he  has  been  ready  for  service,  losing 
no  time  on  his  own  account,  in  such  cases  full  time  for  twenty-six  hundred  (2,600) 
miles  shall  be  allowed. 

(3)  The  first  year's  service  is  to  consist  of  twelve  (12)  calendar  months. 

(4)  Should  it  become  necessary  to  reduce  the  force  on  account  cf  decreased 
business,  and  the  conductor  wishes  to  remain  in  the  employ  of  the  company  as 
brakeman,  he  shall  have  preference  in  employment  over  other  brakemen;  his  pro- 
motion is  to  date  from  the  time  he  made  his  first  trip  as  conductor,  and  his  com- 
pensation shall  be  the  highest  rate  paid  brakemen  in  the  class  of  service  to  which 
he  returns. 

(5)  Notice  will  be  given  when  time  is  not  allowed  as  per  trip  report. 

(6)  Brakemen  who  have  been  in  the  service  of  the  company  for  one  (1 )  year  or 
more,  and  who  may  be  dismissed  from  the  service  on  account  of  decreased  busi- 
ness, will  be  reinstated  and  hold  their  rights  if  they  report  for  work  when  wanted, 
provided  their  previous  service  has  been  satisfactory  in  the  judgment  of  the 
division  officer.  Brakemen  who  have  been  in  the  service  less  than  one  (1)  year 
will  rank  as  new  men  if  re-employed. 

Art.  3.  Extra  Mileage.  (1)  All  freight  conductors  and  brakemen  on  regular 
runs  will  receive  compensation  for  extra  mileage  made  outside  of  their  regular  runs. 

(2)  All  runs  of  less  than  one  hundred  (100)  miles  shall  be  computed  as  one 
day's  work,  provided  the  men  do  not  go  out  again  the  same  day,  except  on  branch 
runs  where  the  mileage  is  less  than  sixty  (60)  miles  per  day,  where  the  company 
reserves  the  right  to  make  special  arrangements  with  its  men  as  to  the  compensa- 
tion they  shall  receive. 

(3)  Where  crews  are  required  to  double  hills,  such  crews  will  be  allowed  the 
extra  mileage  made. 

(4)  All  crews  going  through  to  Union  Stock  Yards  will  be  paid  at  the  rate  of 
fifteen  (15)  miles  per  hour.  This  work  to  be  considered  as  extra  work.  Western

miles  per  hour  on  basis  of  rate  and  classification. 

(2)  On  all  runs  where  the  time  on  duty  in  hours  exceeds  the  number  of  miles 
divided  by  ten  (10),  all  such  excess  will  be  considered  overtime,  except  on  short 
runs  where,  total  mileage  made  in  any  one  day  does  not  exceed  one  hupdred  (100) 
miles.    Overtime  will  not  be  allowed  until  the  total  hours  on  duty  exceed  ten  (10).

(3)  Time  on  duty  shall  be  considered  as  being  from  the  time  train  is  ordered 
at  initial  terminal  to  arrival  at  destination. 

(4)  In  computing  overtime,  any  fraction  of  an  hour  less  than  thirty  (30) 
minutes  will  not  be  allowed.    Thirty  (30)  minutes  or  over  will  be  called  an  hour. 

(5)  Men  will  be  called  as  nearly  as  possible  one  hour  before  leaving  time  of 
their  trains. 

(6)  (a)  If  freight  conductors  and  brakeman  are  required  to  do  switching  at 
terminal  stations,  either  before  leaving  or  after  arrival  at  such  terminal,  they  will 
be  paid  extra  for  all  such  switching  at  the  rate  of  ten  (10)  miles  per  hour,  provided 
they  are  not,  at  the  time  they  are  engaged  in  sue  a  switching  service,  in  receipt  of 
compensation  under  any  other  r  \  No  extra  compensation  shall  be  paid  for 
switching  service  until  the  mileage  exceeds  seventy  (70)  miles;  on  runs  of  seventy 
(70)  miles  or  less  no  extra  compensation  will  be  paid  for  switching  service  until 
the  time  on  duty  exceeds  ten  (10)  hours.  Less  than  thirty  (30)  minutes  will  not  be 
counted.  Thirty  (30)  minutes  and  less  than  one  hour  will  be  counted  as  one  hour. 
Freight  crews  will,  however,  not  be  called  on  to  do  switching  where  switch  engines 
are  employed,  except  in  case  of  absolute  necessity. 

(b)  Crews  called  upon  to  run  special  trains  shall  receive  extra  compensation 
for  switching  service  at  initial  point  and  at  destination  under  the  same  rules  and 
at  the  same  rates  that  apply  to  crews  of  regular  trains.  A  turn- around  point  is  to 
be  considered  under  this  section  as  an  intermediate  point  for  all  runs  turning  at 
that  point  on  the  same  day. 

(c)  On  turn-arounds,  extra  compensation  for  switching^  will  be  allowed  at 
turn-around  points,  provided  there  is  a  delay  of  thirty  (30)  minutes  or  more.  No 
extra  compensation,  however,  shall  be  allowed  for  switching  at  turn-around  point 
until  the  mileage  of  turn-around  trip  shall  exceed  one  hundred  (100)  miles  or  the 
hours  on  duty  shall  exceed  ten  (10). 

(7)  When  a  train  crew  is  on  the  road  between  terminals  for  a  time  not  exceed- 
ing in  hours  the  mileage  of  the  run  divided  by  ten,  they  shall  be  allowed  delayed 
time  for  all  time  that  they  are  delayed  at  initial  terminal;  provided  that  time  is 
one  hour  or  more.  If  the  crew  shall  be  on  the  road  for  a  time  exceeding  in  hours 
the  mileage  of  the  run  divided  by  ten,  then  their  time  shall  be  figured  from  the 
time  that  the  crew  leave  initial  terminal  to  their  arrival  at  destination.  In  the 
latter  case,  a  delay  in  arrival  at  destination  terminal  of  twenty-nine  (29)  minutes 
or  less  shall  not  be  counted.    Thirty  (30)  minutes  or  over  shall  count  as  one  hour. 

(8)  When  trains  for  which  men  have  been  called  are  abandoned,  men  will  be 
paid  for  the  time  held  between  times  should  the  time  exceed  one  hour.

placL'  of  residence,  they  will  be  furnished  free  transportation  for  their  families  and

(()i  Men  will  be  allowed  to  lay  ofi  on  account  of  the  sickness  of  themselves, 
their  families,  to  serve  on  committees,  or  for  other  good  and  sufficient  reasons, 
provided  due  noticfc  is  given  to  the  proper  officers,  so  that  their  places  mav  be

siiall  have  the  choice  of  run  to  which  his  age  as  conductor  entitles  him,  providing 
he  is  intellectually  and  morally  fitted  for  it  in  the  opinion  of  his  superintendent. 

(i))  The  rights  of  a  brakeman  commence  on  the  day  of  his  first  trip,  and  he 
shall  have  the  choice  of  runs  to  which  his  age  in  the  service  as  brakeman  entitles 
him,  merit  and  competency  being  equal  in  the  judgment  of  the  conductor.

superintendent,  or  their  representatives. 

(11)  If  a  brakeman  transfers  from  either  the  freight  or  passenger  service  to 
the  other,  he  forfeits  all  rights  in  the  service  which  he  leaves,  and  will  be  classed 
as  a  new  employe,  except  in  case  of  disability. 

(12)  In  examining  men  on  the  book  of  rules  for  promotion  to  conductors,  the 
oldest  brakeman  must  have  the  preference,  merit  and  competency  being  equal. 
The  company  reserves  the  right,  however,  to  hire  conductors  outside  of  the  em- 
j)loyes  of  the  company,  should  the  service,  in  the  judgment  of  the  officers,  demand 
It.  Brakemen  entitled  to  promotion  will  be  promoted,  if  they  are  considered 
competent,  after  an  examination  by  the  division  superintendent  or  his  repre- 
sentative. If  applicant  fails  to  pass  such  examination,  he  may  be  reexamined  at 
the  expiration  of  three  (3)  months,  if  the  company  is  in  need  of  men.  If  he  fails 
to  pass  the  second  examination,  he  will  not  be  re-examined,  nor  will  he  be  pro- 
moted, and  the  company  reserves  the  right  to  dismiss  him  from  the  service.  The 
division  officer  will  be  the  judge  of  his  qualifications. 

(13)  Where  passenger  crews  run  over  more  than  one  freight  division,  the 
oldest  freight  conductor  on  either  division  will  be  considered  as  entitled  to  pro- 
motion to  passenger  runs  as  above.  Nothing  in  this  article  shall  be  considered  as 
preventing  the  company  fyr>m  employing  experienced  men  when  the  service 
requires  it. 

(14)  Conductors  having  charge  of  trains  will  be  held  responsible  for  their  safe 
management,  and  have  the  right  to  place  their  brakemen  as  their  best  judgment 
may  dictate. 

I  l.T)  When  a  conductor  or  brakeman  leaves  one  division  of  his  own  accord,  to 
work  on  another  division,  he  shall  be  considered  as  a  new  employe,  but  should  he 
be  transferred  by  order  of  the  company,  the  same  rights  he  possessed  on  the  first 
division  shall  be  maintained  on  his  return  to  tht-  same.

Subject:— Switchmen  and  Yardmaster's  Circular. 

Mr.  O.  R.  Fairbanks,  Conductor,  Baraboo,  Wis.,  Dear  Sir:  Taking  effect  Feb- 
ruary 1,  1899,  the  rules  jafovernin^:  yardmaster  and  switchmen  outside  of  Chicago, 
which  took  effect  October  1,  1892,  will  be  extended  so  as  to  embrace  employes  in  the 
city  of  Chicago,  with  one  exception.  Article  7  reads:  "Switchmen  leaving  the  em- 
l)l6y  of  the  company  without  leave  of  absence  forfeit  all  right  with  the  company 
after  sixty  days  except  in  case  of  sickness  of  themselves  or  tamily."  Correct  this 
to  read:  "Switchmen  leaving  the  employ  of  the  company  without  leave  of  absence 
forfeit  all  right  with  the  company  except  in  case  of  sickness  of  themselves  or  fami- 
lies." 

Great  injustice  has  been  done  the  men  by  undesirable  employes  taking  advan- 
tage  of  this  clause  and  they  are  very  much  more  liable  to  do  so  in  a  large  city. 
This  is  reply  to  your  verbal  request  tor  an  interview  with  the  general  committee 
on  this  subject.  Yours  truly,  W.  A.  GARDNER.

(3 1  Whon  a  freight  conductor  or  brakeman  is  taken  from  his  run  for  an  al- 
leged fault,  an  investigation  shall  be  held  ordinarily  within  three  f3>  days.  Where

Art.  7.  Rk.iits  and  Pi<i\  ili:(.f.s.  (1)  Conductors  and  brakemen  will  be  al- 
lowed to  lay  off  on  account  of  sickness  of  themselves,  their  families,  or  for  other 
jjood  and  sufficient  reasons,  provided  due  notice  is  given  to  the  proper  officers,  so 
that  their  places  may  be  tilled  with  other  men. 

[2]  This  does  not  permit  conductors  or  brakemen  to  leave  the  division  on  which 
they  are  employed  without  permission  from  their  superintendent. 

i3i  Any  conductor  or  brakeman  having  been  absent  to  exceed  six  (6)  consecu- 
tive months,  thereby  forfeits  all  rights  with  the  companv,  except  in  case  of  sick- 
ness, or  where  leave  of  absence  has  been  granted.  No  leave  of  absence  shall  be 
!j;raiited  to  exceed  one  d)  year,  nor  reinstatements  made  after  one  year's  continu- 
ous absence,  except  in  case  of  sickness. 

(4)  The  rights  of  a  conductor  commence  on  the  day  of  his  promotion,  and  he 
shall  have  the  choice  of  runs  to  which  his  age  as  conductor  entitles  him,  providing 
he  is  intellectually  and  morally  fitted  for  it  in  the  opinion  of  his  superintendent. 

(a)  The  rights  of  a  brakeman  commence  on  the  day  of  his  nrst  trip,  and  he 
will  have  the  choice  of  runs  to  which  his  age  in  the  service  as  brakeman  entitles 
him,— merit  and  competency  being  equal  in  the  judgment  of  the  superintendent. 

(5)  The  employment  of  brakemen  is  placed  in  the  hands  of  the  division  super- 
intendents, or  their  representatives. 

(())  If  a  brakeman  transfers  from  either  the  freight  or  the  passenger  depart- 
ment to  the  other,  he  forfeits  all  rights  in  the  department  which  he  leaves,  and  will 
be  classed  as  a  new  employe,  except  in  case  of  disability. 

(7)  In  examining  men  on  the  Book  of  Rules  for  promotion  to  conductors,  the 
oldest  brakeman  must  have  the  preference,  merit  and  competency  being  equal. 
The  company  reserves  the  right,  however,  to  hire  conductors  outside  of  the  em- 
ployes or  the  comiJany,  should  the  service  demand  it. 

(8)  Where  passenger  crews  run  over  more  than  one  freight  division,  the  oldest 
frt-ii^lit  conductor  on  either  division  will  be  considered  as  entitled  to  promotion  to 
passenger  runs  as  above.  Nothing  in  this  article  shall  be  considered  as  prevent- 
mn  the  company  from  employing  experienced  men  when  the  ser\-ice  requires  it. 

(!))  Conductors  having  charge  of  trains  will  be  held  responsible  for  their  safe 
management,  and  shall  have  the  right  to  place  their  brakemen  as  their  best  judg- 
ment may  dictate. 

(10)  When  a  conductor  or  brakeman  leaves  one  division,  of  his  own  accord,  to 
work  on  another  division,  he  shall  be  considered  as  a  new  employe,  but  should  he 
be  transferred  by  order  of  the  company,  the  same  rights  he  possessed  on  the  first 
division  will  be  maintained  on  his  return  to  the  same. 

Art.  8.  Cali.inc.  of  ^Ikn.  (1)  A  book  shall  be  kept  in  the  train  dispatcher's 
offic'c',  showing  the  name  of  each  conductor  and  brakeman  and  his  residence.  Su- 
perintendents shall  agree  with  their  men  on  certain  limits  within  which  men  shall 
be  called  to  take  their  trains,  where  call  boys  are  provided. 

(2)  Call  boys  shall  be  provided  with  a  book  in  which  conductors  and  brake- 
men  will  register  their  names,  and  the  time  they  are  called. 

(3)  Conductors  and  brakemen  shall  also  register  in  a  book  kept  for  that  pur- 
pose in  the  train  dispatcher's  office,  or  other  designated  place,  thirty  (30)  minutes

number  of  hours  worked,  ten  (10)  miles  beinyc  allowed  for  each  hour  worked.  Men 
in  this  service  will  be  allowed  either  the  miles  run  or  the  hours  worked  at  the  rate 
often  (10)  miles  per  hour  for  each  day's  service.  In  no  case  are  the  hours  worked 
and  the  miles  run  to  be  computed  together  for  any  one  day's  service.  Fractions 
of  hours  will  be  computed  at  rate  of  one  (1)  mile  for  every  si.x  ((5)  minutes. 

(2)  Kate  of  p;u-,  unless  otherwise  specified,  will  be  three  (.S)  cents  for  con- 
ductors and  two  (2)  cents  for  brakemen  per  mile  allowed. 

(3)  Conductors  of  way  freight  trains,  work  trains  and  wrecking  trains,  will  be 
paid  3.27  cents  per  mile.  Brakemen  of  way  freights  will  be  paid  2.31  cents  per

freight,  wrc<^kingor  regular  freight  service,  will  be  based  on  a  mileajafe  of  twenty- 
six  hundred  {2t3(tO)  miles  per  month.  If  the  mileage  of  a  regularly  assigned  frei^^ht 
conductor  or  brakeman  in  above  service  is  less  than  twenty-six  hundred  (2fi(X)) 
miles  in  any  one  month,  and  he  has  been  ready  for  service  and  lost  no  time  on  his

count, if  taken  out  of  service  shall  receive  such  proportion  of  twenty-six  hundred 
{2(J(H))  miles  as  the  number  of  working  days  held  in  service  is  to  twenty-six  (2(5). 

(())  All  mileage  in  excess  of  twenty-si.x  hundred  (2600)  miles  made  in  any  one 
month  will  be  paid  for  at  rate  per  mile  established  for  the  service  rendered. 

(7)  All  freight  conductors  and  brakemen  on  regular  runs  will  receive  compen- 
sation for  extra  mileage  made  outside  of  their  regular  runs. 

(8)  To  enable  trainmen  to  determine  whether  they  will  take  miles  run  or  hours 
worked  as  a  basis  of  ccmpensation,  the  following  rules  will  govern:  At  points 
where  trains  are  ready  or  made  up  by  switch  engines,  compute  from  time  train  is 
ordered  to  leave  until  crews  are  relieved  at  destination.  At  points  where  trainmen 
make  up  their  own  trains,  compute  from  time  their  work  begins  until  they  are  re- 
lieved at  destination.  If  men  go  to  meals  after  work  has  begun,  time  consumed  in 
eating  should  be  deducted. 

(9)  On  regular  runs  on  branch  lines  and  regular  runs  of  seventy  (70)  miles  or 
less,  company  reserves  right  to  make  special  arrangements  covering  compensation.

of  actual  miles  run. 

(11)  When  crews  report  for  duty  after  having  been  called  to  go  out,  and  for 
any  cause  train  is  abandoned  or  crews  changed,  they  shall  receive  compensation 
for  time  on  duty,  such  compensation  to  be  not  less  than  one-fourth  day. 

(12)  Freight  conductors  and  brakemen  temporarily  in  regular  passenger  train 
service,  will  be  paid  at  the  rate  jf  pay  established  for  such  service  ;  for  running 
special  passenger  trains  they  will  be  paid  at  freight  rates. 

(13)  Freight  conductors  and  brakemen  attending  court  under  instructions  from 
company  will  be  paid  at  rate  of  one  hundred  (100)  miles  per  day  and  living  expen-

SERVICE. 

Art.  2.     (1)     All  crews  not  assigned  to  regular  runs  will  run  first  in  first  out. 

(2)  The  rights  of  a  conductor  commence  on  day  of  his  promotion;  those  of 
a  brakeman  on  day  he  makes  his  first  trip.  Conductors  and  brakemen  shall  have 
choice  of  runs  to  which  their  age  in  the  service  entitles  them,  provided  in  the  opinion 
of  the  superintendent  their  merit  and  ability  fit  them  for  the  position  desired. 

(3)  If  a  brakeman  transfers  from  either  freight  or  passenger  service  to  the  other, 
he  forfeits  all  rights  in  service  which  he  leaves,  and  will,  exceptin  case  of  disability, 
be  classed  as  a  new  employe. 

(4)  In  examining  men  on  Book  of  Rules  for  promotion  to  conductors,  the  oldest 
brakeman  will  have  the  preference,  merit  and  competency  being  equal.  The  company 
reserves  the  right,  however,  to  hire  conductors  outside  of  employes,  should  the  ser- 
vice, iu  judgment  of  officers,  demand  it.  Brakemen  entitled  to  promotion  will  be 
promoted  if  considered  competent  after  examination  by  the  division  superintendent 
or  his  representative.  If  applicant  fails  to  pass  such  examination  he  may  be  reex- 
aminedat  the  expiration  of  three  (3^1  months  if  the  company  is  in  need  of  men.  If 
he  fails  to  pass  the  second  examination  he  will  be  neither  re-examined  nor  promoted, 
the  company  reserving  the  right  to  dismiss  him  from  the  service,  the  division  super- 
intendent to  be  judge  of  his  qualifications. 

(5)  When  decreased  business  makes  necessary  a  reduction  in  force,  the  conduc- 
j  tor  wishing  to  remain  in  employ  of  company  as  brakeman  shall  have  preference  and 

employment   over  other  brakemen;  he   will  rank   as   conductor   from    time  of  his 
i  promotion.    The  conductor  oldest  in  service  shall  have  preference,  except  where  in- 
experienced and  unreliable  men  have  been  in  service  longer  than  reliable  ones,  it  be- 
ing intention  to  retain  latter  on  grounds  of  competency. 

.(6)  When  passenger  crews  run  over  more  than  one  freight  division,  the  oldest 
ireight  conductor  on  either  division  will  be  considered  as  entitled  to  promotion  on 
such  passenger  runs.

desire.  No  reduction  in  the  force  shall  be  made  when  the  average  mileage  equals 
twenty-four  hundred  (2,400)  miles  for  each  thirty  (30)  days. 

Trainmen  will  be  required  to  take  such  steps  to  move  disabled  cars,  as,  in 
the  opinion  of  the  superintendent  or  his  representative,  may  be  deemed  ad- 
visable. 

When  a  freight  man  is  assigned  temporarily  to  passenger  train  duties,  his 
rights  in  freight  service  will  not  be  affected.  Passenger  brakemen  have  no  rights 
in  freight  train  service.  Yard  masters  and  switchmen  who  are  competent  to  as- 
sume a  position  in  road  service  may  do  so,  upon  application,  and  their  rights  date 
from  the  time  they  entered  the  service. 

Conductors  in  good  standing  will  be  granted  semi-annual  passes  on  the  system 
for  themselves,  wives  or  minor  children  upon  application  to  the  superintendent. 

A  conductor  or  brakeman  is  not  prejudiced  by  serving  on  a  committee,  or  by 
making  a  complaint  of  any  character  to  his  superior  oilicer. 

Applications  for  leave  of  absence  will  be  granted  when  they  are  made  in  suffi- 
cient time  to  admit  of  the  place  being  filled  without  causing  delay  to  trains  or 
otherwise  affecting  the  business  of  the  company.  In  cases  of  sickness  applications 
for  leave  of  absence  will  always  be  granted

In  case  conductors  are  suspended  to  appear  before  this  board,  they  will  be  given 
a  hearing  within  five  (5)  days,  and  will  receive  prompt  notice  of  the  result  of  the 
investigation.    All  punishments  shall  consist  of  suspension  or  discharge. 

It  snail  not  be  necessary  to  convene  the  board,  except  for  the  investigation  of 
accidents. 

If  the  party  punished  by  the  board,  desires,  he  may  appeal  first  through  the 
master  of  trains  to  the  superintendent,  and  then  through  the  superintendent  to  the 
vice  president. 

All  appeals  must  be  presented  to  the  superintendent  or  master  of  trains  within 
five  (5)  days  after  the  decision  of  the  board  shall  have  been  made  known. 

Should  conductors  suspended  be  found  innocent,  they  will  be  paid  for  the  time 
the  suspension  was  in  effect  at  the  regular  rate  of  pay. 

To  enable  officers  of  the  company  to  make  investigations,  reports  must  be  made 
to  the  proper  officer  at  the  end  of  each  trip.

t).  When  passenger  or  freight  conductors  handi .;  special,  extra,  pay,  work, 
wreck  or  circus  trains,  they  will  be  paid  $3.00  per  day,  twelve  hours  to  constitute  a 
day's  work.  On  trains  as  above,  wnen  less  than  six  hours  are  required,  the  pay 
shall  be  one-half  of  the  above  rate,  and  crews  shall  stand  first  out.  When  over  six 
hours  are  required,  they  will  be  paid  full  rate  and  stand  last  out. 

7.  Conductors  not  in  work  train  service  shall  receive  pay  at  overtime  rates  for 
all  time  consumed  in  doing  construction  work.  This  does  not  apply  to  conductors 
of  local  freight  trains. 

8.  Conductors  will  be  charged  $1.00  for  each  switch  kev  lost  by  them. 

9.  Conductors  deadheading  on  company's  business  will  be  paid  one-half  ser- 
vice engaged  in.  If  running  light  engine,  or  with  caboose,  through  freight  rates 
will  be  paid.  The  deadhead  crew  will  be  due  out  immediately  ahead  of  the  crew 
which  is  deadheaded. 

When  a  conductor  is  traveling  over  the  road  for  the  purpose  of  relieving  a  con- 
ductor who  has  asked  for  leave  of  absence,  he  will  not  receive  any  compensation 
for  the  distance  traveled. 

10.  Conductors  attending  court  by  company's  direction  will  be  paid  $3.00 
per  day  for  twenty-four  (24)  hours  lost  on  account  of  attending  court.  The  com- 
pany will  allow  $1.00  per  day  for  hotel  expenses  when  not  at  their  homes.  No  time

company  will  be  entitled  to  the  cirtincate  for  witness  fees  in  all  cases.  When  con-

11.  When  conductors  are  called,  and  for  any  reason  the  train  is  annulled,  they 
will  be  paid  at  over  time  rates  per  hour  until  relieved.  If  held  six  hours,  or  less,

12.  No  more  conductors  will  be  assigned  to  runs  than  the  judgment  of  the 
management  finds  necessary  to  move  thelsusiness  of  the  road  with  promptness  and 
regularity. 

13.  Cfonductors  after  being  on  the  road  twelve  (12)  hours,  or  more,  and  com- 
pleted their  run,  will  not  be  required  to  go  out  until  they  have  had  eight  hours 
rest,  nor  shall  any  conductor  be  permitted  to  run  on  the  road,  when  their  physical 
ability  has  been  fairly  taxed  by  previous  service,  before  they  have  had  the  needed 
rest. 

14.  When  a  conductor  is  charged  with  wrong  or  fault,  and  is  called  in  for  in- 
vestigation, if  he  sees  proper  to  invite  another  conductor  to  go  with  him  to  hear 
the  investigation,  the  management  has  no  objection  to  his  doing  so. 

15.  The  caller  will  call  conductors,  as  nearly  as  practicable,  one  hour  before 
the  leaving^time,  for  extra  trains  at  the  places  they  designate  within  one  mile  of 
the  yard  office:  at  Macon,  Tifton,  Valdosta,  Lake  City  and  Palatka.  If  a  conduc- 
tor lives  outside  of  the  limits  herein  prescribed,  or  is  at  any  other  point  he  must 
make  his  own  arrangements  to  ascertain  whether  he  is  wanted  or  not. 

When  conductors  are  called  to  go  out,  they  must  sign  the  caller's  book,  giving 
the  exact  time  at  which  they  were  called.  Time  will  commence  one  hour  after  they 
are  called,  and  will  be  ascertained  from  train  reports,  and  checked  by  conductor's 
trip  tickets. 

16.  When  time  is  not  allowed,  a&  per  conductor's  trip  ticket,  the  conductor  will 
be  advised  of  the  time  allowed,  and  the  reason  for  deduction, 

17.  Over  time  will  be  computed  for  extra  trains  after  twelve  hours  from  the 
time  the  conductor  is  called  to  go  out,  and  will  be  paid  for  at  the  rate  of  twenty- 
five  (25)  cents  per  hour,  sixty  ((50)  minutes  will  be  counted  as  nothing,  and  over 
sixty  (60)  minutes  as  one  hour.  If  the  train  for  which  they  were  called  is  held  in 
yard  over  one  hour  after  leaving  time,  they  will  be  paid  over  time  rates  for  delayed 
time.  Over  time  on  extra  trains  will  commence  twelve  hours  after  they  sign  call- 
er's book. 

18.  Over  time  will  be  computed  for  regular  trains  and  paid  on  the  following 
basis: 

W^hen  trains  have  been  delayed  or  detained  between  terminals  more  than  the 
time  that  should  be  used  at  twenty  (20)  miles  per  hour,  in  case  of  passenger  trains: 
ten  (10)  miles  per  hour  on  through  freight  trains,  and  eight  (8)  mile  per  hour 
on  local  freight  trains;  conductors  will  be  paid  twenty-five  (25)  cents 
per  hour;  provided  that  runs  over  fifty  (50)  miles  and  less  than  one  hun- 
dred (100)  miles  shall  not  be  paid  over  time  until  passenger  trains  have  been  on  the 
road  six  (6)  hours,  through  freight  trains  nine  (9)  hours,  and  local  freight  trains 
twelve  (12)  hours. 

Over  time  will  be  paid  for  at  the  rate  of  twenty-five  (25)  cents  per  hour  after  the 
schedule  has  been  exceeded  one  hour;  no  fractional  part  of  an  hour  will  be  paid. 
Example:  for  one  hour  over  time,  conductors  will  receive  nc  pay;  for  one  hour  and 
one  minute,  they  will  receive  pay  for  one  hour  over  time;  for  one  hour  and  fifty- 
nine  minutes,  they  will  receive  pay  for  one  hour  over  time; 

When  over  time  is  not  allowed,  conductors  will  be  promptly  notified. 

19.  When  conductors  are  held  out  of  yard,  after  arrivmg  at  terminals,  they 
will  be  paid  over  time;  and  if  they  are  called  upon  to  do  switching  (that  is  the  mak- 
ing up  of  their  trains,  or  station  work)  at  points  at  which  switch  engines  are  on 
duty,  they  will  be  paid  over  time.  But  the  term  "switching"  is  not  intended  to 
cover  the  sotting  out  of  cars,  nor  the  taking  on  of  cars  at  terminals  in  case  of  em- 
ergency. 

20.  When  a  conductor  leaves  the  service  of  the  company,  he  shall  be  furnished 
with  a  letter  showing  his  service  with  the  company,  and  the  cause  tor  leaving  it, 
when  tried  by  the  board.  The  letter  shall  be  signed  by  the  master  of  trains,  and 
approved  by  the  superintendent. 

21.  Sixty  (60)  days  notice  will  be  given  of  any  contemplated  change  in  the  rates 
of  pay  under  this  schedule. 

This  scale  of  pay  to  become  effective  July  1,  1900.  O.  M.  GRADY,

be  allowed  the  maximuM  monthly  rate  established  for  through  passenger  service. 

This  allowance  to  cover  all  mileage  made  on  their  assigned  runs. 

3.  Passenger  crews  assigned  to  regula-  runs,  failing  to  make  full  month,  will 
be  paid  pro  rata  for  services  performed. 

4.  Passenger  crews  on  regular  runs  doubling  to  make  up  time  lost  by  other 
men,  will  be  allowed  the  extra  mileage  so  made  at  the  regular  rates  for  such  runs, 
in  addition  to  their  regular  compensation. 

5.  When  assigned  passenger  men  are  called  upon  to  run  special  trains  and 
their  aggregate  mileage  for  the  month  exceeds  the  mileage  of  their  assigned  runs, 
they  will  be  paid  additional  for  such  excess  mileage  at  the  rates  provided  in 
Article  2. 

6.  Freight  crews  temporarily  on  regular  passenger  runs  will  be  paid  at  the 
regular  rates  for  such  runs. 

Freight  crews  assigned  to  special  passenger  trains  will  be  paid  at  local  passen- 
ger rates,  except  where  the  mileage  is  200  miles  or  less,  in  which  event  freight  rates 
will  be  allowed  for  mileage  so  made. 

7.  When  through  and  local  passenger  runs  are  pooled,  and  passenger  crews 
run  around  in  turn,  the  classification  of  the  pooled  runs  will  be  determined  by  the 
class  of  train  which  contributes  the  greater  portion  of  the  mileage,  and  all  crews 
will  receive  alike  the  rates  of  pay  for  that  service. 

8.  Through  passenger  trains  will  comprise  those  runs  which  have  a  continuous 
schedule  over  more  than  one  division  and  change  crews  at  division  point^i.  Trains 
scheduled  on  one  division,  and  run  through  by  the  same  crew,  are  local  passenger 
trains. 

9.  Pay  car  and  special  runs  will  be  classed  as  local. 

10.  When  trainmen  desire  to  lay  off  they  shall  do  so  at  the  point  designated 
for  the  purpose  by  their  trainmaster;  otherwise  they  will  pay  the  mileage  of  the 
men  sent  to  take  their  places  when  they  request  to  be  relieved  from  duty.

Overtime  on  the  above  turn-around  t  -ips  will  be  allowed  for  all  time  used  on 
the  round  trip  in  excess  of  10  miles  per  hour,  less  four  hours  at  Kankakee,  Otto, 
Du  Quoin,  Martin  and  Pana,  and  two  hours  at  other  turning  points.  Time  to  be 
reckoned  from  starting  point.  An  exception  will  be  made  in  case  of  the  turn- 
around trip  from  Centralia  to  Du  Quoin  and  return,  where  only  two  hours  will  be 
deducted  in  computing  time.  When  Chicago  district  crews  are  held  over  at  Gil- 
man  to  exceed  fifteen  hours,  except  Sunday,  time  in  excess  of  fifteen  hours  will  be 
paid  for  at  the  rate  of  ten  miles  per  hour. 

17.  The  actual  number  of  day  in  any  calendar  month  of  twelve  hours  per  day, 
exclusive  of  Sundays,  will  const'  ate  a  month's  work  for  that  month  in  local 
freight  or  in  mixed  train  service,  except  on  those  local  freight  runs  to  which  three 
crews  are  assigned.  On  local  freight  runs  having  three  regular  crews,  four  single 
trips  per  week  over  the  district  will  constitute  full  time,  12  hours  being  allowed  for 
each  trip. 

Crews  assigned  to  regular  freight  runs  will  be  paid  additional,  at  established 
rates,  for  extra  trips  made  outside  of  their  regular  work. 

In  local  freight  service  the  assignment  of  crews  will  be  as  follows: 

On  main  line  districts  between  Chicago  and  Canton,  Miss.,  three  crews  with 
three  brakemen  each,  except  on  the  Jackson  district,  where,  during  months  of  light 
business,  the  number  of  crews  may  be  reduced  to  two. 

Five  crews  with  three  brakemen  each  between  Canton,  Miss.,  and  Hammond, 
La.  Four  brakemen  may  be  assigned  to  these  crews  during  seasons  of  heavy 
business. 

On  the  district  between  Jackson,  Miss.,  and  Greenwood  or  Parsons,  two  crews 
with  three  brakemen  each  during  seasons  of  light  business,  and  three  crews  with 
three  brakemen  each  during  seasons  of  heavy  business. 

Three  crews  with  three  brakemen  each,  between  Springfield  and  Oilman;  be- 
tween Waterloo  and  Ft.  Dodge. 

Two  crews  with  three  brakemen  each,  between  Freeportand  Dubuque;  between 
Dubuque  and  Waterloo;  between  Ft.  Dodge  and  Cherokee;  between  Cherokee  and 
Sioux  City;  between  Cherokee  and  Sioux  Falls;  between  Memphis  and  Grenada. 

On  local  freight  runs  not  specified,  the  superintendent  will  arrange  the  assign- 
ment of  men  and  crews  as  is  consistent  with  the  requirements  of  the  service  and 
business. 

18.  The  actual  number  of  days  in  any  calendar  month  of  twelve  hours  per  day, 
exclusive  of  Sundays,  will  constitute  a  month's  work  for  that  month  in  work  train 
service. 

When  a  crew  is  called  for  work  train  service,  one-half  day  will  be  allowed  when 
on  duty  six  hours  or  less;  if  over  six  hours,  a  full  day  will  be  allowed,  with  extra 
time  for  service  over  twelve  hours. 

No  deduction  will  be  made  from  the  pay  of  work  train  crews  by  reason  of  their 
not  working  when  ready  for  duty  and  not  assigned  to  other  duty,  or  relieved  at 
district  terminal. 

Crews  in  irregular  freight  service  will  be  paid  freight  mileage  rates  for  trips 
made  with  trains  in  ballast  service  which  are  not  unloaded  on  the  district. 

When  the  work  required  of  a  crew  is  partly  freight  and  partly  work  train  service, 
the  entire  trip  or  day  wih  be  paid  for  at  the  rate  of  pay  for  the  class  of  service 
which  predominates,  to  be  determined  by  applying  tne  freight  rate  to  the  actual 
freight  mileage  made,  and  the  work  train  rate  to  the  hours  consumed  in  work  train 
service. 

19.  Overtime  will  be  allowed  as  follows:

Crews  in  irregular  freight  service,  on  runs  not  otherwise  specified,  for  time  on 
duty  in  excess  of  one  hour  for  each  ten  (10)  miles  run. 

On  local  freight  or  mixed  runs,  after  12  hours  continuous  service. 

On  local  freight  turn-around  trips,  where  the  time  consumed  on  the  road  and 
in  switching  at  turn-around  points,  exceeds  12  hours. 

In  work  train  service,  after  12  hours  on  duty. 

In  computing  overtime,  any  fraction  of  an  hour,  30  minutes  or  less  will  not  be 
counted;  over  30  minutes  will  be  called  an  hour. 

20.  For  light  runs  (engine  and  caboose)  full  mileage  will  be  allowed. 

21.  Crews  deadheading  under  orders  on  passenger  trains  will  be  paid  one-half 
their  regular  rates.    On  freight  trains  they  will  be  paid  full  rates. 

22.  Crews  required  to  do  Union  Stock  Yard  work  at  Chicago  will  be  allowed 
ten  miles  per  hour  for  time  so  consumed  in  addition  to  regular  trip  mileage. 

23.  Trainmen  temporarily  assigned  to  yard  service  will  be  allowed  their 
schedule  rates  of  pay  while  so  employed,  unless  the  yard  rate  should  be  higher,  in 
which  case  they  will  be  paid  yard  rates. 

24.  It  is  the  intention  to  run  crews  not  assigned  to  regular  runs  first  in  first 
out,  but  the  right  is  reserved  to  depart  from  this  rule  when  the  interests  of  the 
company  require  it. 

25.  On  main  line  divisions,  also  on  the  Springfield  division,  trainmen  not  on 
regularly  assigned  runs,  and  living  within  one  mile  of  the  yard  office,  will  be  called 
as  nearl}'^  as  practicable  one  hour  before  the  leaving  time  of  their  train.  Men  on 
regularly  assigned  runs  will  be  called  between  the  hours  of  7  p.  m.  and  7  a.  m. 
The  working  time  of  trainmen  will  begin  at  the  time  set  for  the  departure  of  their 
train,  except  when  crews  assigned  to  regular  runs  are  notified  at  least  one  hour 
before  the  leaving  time  of  their  train,  or  the  time  at  which  they  are  required  to  re- 
port for  duty.  The  time  of  freight  crews  will  continue  until  relieved  from  duty  at 
the  end  of  their  run. 

26.  Where  time  is  not  allowed  as  per  trainmen's  time  slip,  it  shall  be  returned 
to  them  at  once  with  reasons  for  not  allowing  same. 

27.  Pilots  on  main  line  districts  will  be  paid  conductor's  rates.  On  branch 
lines  when  conductors  are  not  available,  pilots  will  be  paid  according  to  the  class 
of  service  from  which  they  are  selected. 

28.  When  freight  crews  are  called  and  report  for  duty,  and  the  train  is  an- 
nulled, they  shall  be  paid  at  overtime  rates  from  the  time  called  for  each  hour  so 
held  on  duty,  and  will  stand  first  out. 

29.  Trainmen  attending  court  at  request  of  the  company,  if  on  assigned  runs, 
shall  be  allowed  full  time,  and  when  in  irregular  service,  lOO  miles  per  day  until 
ordered  to  resume  work  in  the  department  in  which  they  are  employed,  with  the 
necessary  expenses  while  away  from  home,  same  not  to  exceed  $2.00  per  day. 

30.  Trainmen  will  be  allowed  eight  hours  rest  at  terminals  after  sixteen  hours 
continuous  service,  unless  they  go  out  voluntarily. 

31.  The  right  to  regular  runs  and  to  promotion  will  be  governed  by  merit,  ability 
and  seniority.  Everything  being  equal,  the  mar  longest  in  continuous  service  will 
have  preference,  the  superintendent  to  be  the  judge  as  to  qualifications.  Nothing 
in  this  article  shall  be  construed  as  preventing  the  company  from  employing  ex- 
perienced men  from  other  roads,  when  the  good  of  the  service  requires  it. 

32.  In  the  event  of  there  being  a  surplus  of  crews,  and  it  becomes  necessary  to 
reduce  their  number,  the  oldest  men  shall  have  preference  in  employment,  except 
where  in  the  judgement  of  the  superintendent,  for  good  reasons,  which  will  be 
made  known  upon  application,  younger  men  in  the  service  are  considered  more  re- 
liable and  efficient;  it  being  the  intention  to  retain  the  most  capable  men  in  the 
service. 

Conductors  retired  by  reason  of  a  reduction  of  crews  shall  have  preference  in 
employment  as  brakemen. 

33.  So  far  as  consistent  with  the  interests  of  the  company,  the  number  of  crews 
will  be  kept  down  to  correspond  with  the  business,  so  that  crews  in  irregular 
freight  service  may  make  3,000  miles  per  month. 

34.  Trainmen  will  not  be  dismissed  or  suspended  from  the  company's  service 
without  just  cause.  In  case  of  suspension  or  dismissal,  if  the  employe  thinks  his 
sentence'  unjust,  he  shall  have  the  right  within  ten  days  to  refer  his  case,  by  writ- 
ten statement,  to  the  superintendent. 

Within  ten  days  from  receipt  of  this  notice,  his  case  shall  have  a  thorough  in- 
vestigation by  the  superintendent,  at  which  he  shall  be  present.  In  case  he  shall 
not  be  satisfied  with  the  result  of  said  investigation,  he  shall  have  the  right  to  ap- 
peal to  the  assistant  general  superintendent,  and  from  him  to  the  general  superin- 
tendent and  to  the  second  vice-president.  In  case  the  suspension  or  dismissal  is 
found  to  be  unjust,  he  shall  be  reinstated  and  paid  for  time  lost.  The  result  of  the 
mvestigation  shall  be  made  known  within  ten  days.  ;

35.  It  is  hereby  understood  to  be  the  duty  of  conductors  to  promptly  file 
charges,  in  writing  to  their  superior  officer,  against  any  unreliable  or  unsare brake- 
men  who  may  have  been  assigned  to  them;  and  in  the  interest  of  retaining  in  the  ser- 
vice the  best  men,  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  such  superior  officer  to  promptly  investi- 
gate, and  if  the  charges  preferred  are  found  correct,  such  brakemen  are  not  to  be 
transferred  to  another  crew,  but  promptly  dismissed. 

36.  Any  grievance  which  may  exist  and  is  not  rectified,  shall  be  presented  in 
writing  to  the  superintendent  within  thirty  (30)  days  of  its  occurrence,  to  the  end 
that  proper  action  towards  its  abatement  may  be  taken  without  unnecessary  delay. 

3/.  All  schedules,  rules  and  regulations  in  conflict  with  these  now  adopted  are 
void. 

38.  The  provisions  of  this  schedule  will  not  apply  to  that  portion  of  the  line 
extending  from  Springfield,  111.,  to  East  St.  Louis,  111.,  formerly  known  as  the  St. 
Louis,  Peoria  &  Northern  Ry.,  until  July  1st,  1900. 

39.  This  agreement  shall  remain  in  effect  until  revised  or  abrogated,  of  which 
intention  30  days  written  notice  shall  be  given.

Conductors  who  are  retired  by  reason  of  a  reduction  of  crews  shall  have  prefer- 
ence in  employment  as  brakemen. 

So  far  as  consistent  with  the  interest  >  of  the  company,  the  number  of  crews 
will  be  kept  down  to  correspond  with  the  business,  so  that  crews  in  "chain-gangs" 
may  make  3,000  miles  per  month. 

22.  In  all  cases  when  it  becomes  necessary  to  use  an  extra  conductor  or  brake- 
man  on  any  crew,  the  oldest  extra  conductor  or  brakeman  shall  have  the  preference 
when  practicable;  provided  that  no  conductor  or  brakeman  thus  placed  shall 
be  relieved  to  make  place  for  an  older  man  until  the  regular  man  resumes  work  or 
the  position  is  given  permanently  to  the  oldest  extra  conductor  or  brakeman. 

23.  It  is  hereby  understood  to  be  the  duty  of  conductors  to  promptly  file 
charges  in  writing  to  their  superior  officer  against  any  unreliable  or  unsafe  brake-

ment, excepting  where  in  the  judgment  of  the  superintendent  for  good  reasons 
which  will  be  made  known  on  application,  younger  men  in  the  service  are  consid- 
ered more  reliable  and  efficient,  it  being  the  intention  to  retain  the  most  capable 
men  in  the  service.  Conductors  who  are  relieved  by  reason  of  reduction  of  force 
shall  have  preference  in  employment  as  brakemen.  As  far  as  practicable  crews  will

General  rules  governing  train  service,  taking  effect  August  1,  1892. 

1.  Regular  freight  and  passenger  crews  making  extra  trips  will  be  paid  on  the 
basis  of  the  rate  fixed  for  the  service  performed. 

Crews  running  pay  train,  officers'  specials  or  inspection  trains,  to  be  paid  at 
the  rate  of  2;i  cents  per  mile  for  conductor,  and  1'4  cents  per  mile  for  brakeman, 
with  a  minimum  of  $3.00  per  day  for  conductor  and  $2.00  for  brakemen.  If  crews 
are  laid  up  for  a  day  they  will  be  paid  at  the  minimum  rate  given  above.  Living 
expenses  of  such  crews  will  be  borne  by  the  company,  as  heretofore. 

2.  Crews  regularly  assigned  to  construction  trains:  conductors  to  receive  $9(1 
per  month;  brakemen,  $60;  12  hours  or  less  to  constitute  a  day's  work;  calendar

work,  full  time  ,-ill  be  allowed  at  the  rate  of  .30  cents  per  hour  for  conductors,  and 
20  cents  per  hour  for  brakemen. 

4.  Crews  delayed  one  hour  and  thirty-five  minutes  in  startinj?  from  or  after 
arrival  at  terminals,  will  be  paid  at  the  rate  of  'M)  cents  per  hour  for  conductors, 
and  20  cents  per  hour  for  brakemen,  for  the  full  delay,  less  one  hour.  In  case 
crews  have  been  called  and  afterward  are  notified  they  are  not  wanted,  the  same 
rule  will  apply  with  a  minimum  of  two  and  a  half  hours'  pay,  and  the  crew  shall 
stand  first  out. 

On  all  runs  of  less  than  100  miles  requiring  more  than  ten  hours,  overtime  will 
be  paid  if  the  hours  used  on  the  trip  exceed  11  hours,  in  which  case  all  overtime 
exceeding  10  hours  will  be  paid.  On  all  runs  exceeding  100  miles,  trainmen  will  be 
paid  overtime  for  all  time  used  to  complete  the  trip  in  excess  of  a  rate  of  speed  of 
10  miles  per  hour  when  over  one  (1)  hour  late. 

5.  Conductors  will  have  the  right  to  object  to  brakemen  for  cause,  and  when 
objections  are  sustained  by  facts  they  will  be  furnished  with  other  men. 

().  It  is  the  rule  of  the' company  to  run  freight  crews  "first  lU,  first  out."  This 
rule,  however,  cannot  be  rigidly  carried  out  at  all  times,  and  the  proper  officers  of 
the  conipany  will  vary  from  the  rule  as  circumstances  require. 

7.  Trainmen  deadheading  over  the  road  on  company  business,  on  passenger 
trains,  will  be  paid  one-half  rates.  When  deadheading  on  freight  trains,  full  rates 
will  be  allowed. 

When  necessary  to  deadhead  a  crew,  the  first  crew  will  be  deadheaded  and  the 
second  crew  run  the  train.  The  crew  deadheaded  to  stand  ahead  of  the  crew  run- 
ning the  train  on  arrival  at  terminal  point. 

8.  When  light  engines,  or  trains  of  other  companies  are  run  on  main  line  and 
])rincipal  branches,  a  conductor  will  be  sent  in  charge,  when  practicable,  who  will 
act  as  pilot. 

y.  Should  a  train  be  compelled  to  double  a  hill,  crews  will  be  paid  for  one 
hour's  time  at  the  rate  of  30  cents  for  conductor  and  20  cents  for  brakemen. 

10.  The  right  to  regular  runs  and  to  promotion  will  be  governed  by  merit, 
ability  and  seniority.  Everj-thing  being  equal,  the  conductor,  brakeman  or  yard- 
man longest  in  service  will  have  preference,  the  superintendent  to  be  the  judge  as 
to  qualifications. 

Nothing  in  this  rule  shall  be  construed  to  mean  that  the  company  will  not  em- 
ploy men  from  other  roads  when,  in  the  judgment  of  its  officers,  it  is  expedient  to 
do  so. 

11.  No  employe  will  be  suspended  or  discharged  without  just  cause.  In  case 
of  suspension  or  discharge  of  any  employe,  except  for  insubordination  or  intoxica- 
tion, he  may,  if  he  desires,  have  a  thorough  investigation  by  the  proper  officers. 
Such  desire  shall  be  signified  within  ten  (10)  days  of  the  date  of  suspension  or  dis- 
charge, and  the  investigation  shall  be  begun  within  ten  (10)  days  from  such  notice, 
and  proceed  with  as  little  interruption  as  may  be  until  completed.  The  employe 
shall  have  full  opportunity  to  present  his  case  and  to  oflfer  testimony.  If  the  sus- 
pension or  dismissal  shall  be  found  to  have  been  without  just  cause,  the  employe 
shall  be  reinstated  and  paid  full  time  for  the  period  out  of  service. 

12.  When  a  conductor  is  assigned  to  a  regular  passenger  run  he  will  not  be 
used  in  freight  or  construction  service  unless  in  case  of  necessity. 

13.  When  traffic  becomes  so  light  that  reasonable  monthly  wages  cannot  be 
made,  the  number  of  crews  will  be  reduced.  Other  things  being  equal  the  young- 
est men  will  be  laid  off.  the  superintendent  to  be  the  judge  as  to  qualifications.  It 
is  the  intention  to  so  apportion  the  crews  that  they  may  make  approximately  2,(300 
miles  per  month. 

14.  When  crews  are  required  to  do  switching  at  terminal  stations,  they  will  be 
paid  for  such  switching  at  the  rate  of  30  cents  per  hour  for  conductors  and  20  cents 
for  brakemen  after  the  first  thirty  minutes,  excepting  when  pay  is  arranged  to  in- 
clude such  switching. 

15.  Where  callers  are  furnished  by  the  company,  and  men  live  within  reason- 
able limits  (to  be  fixed  by  the  trainmaster  or  superintendent)  crews  will  be  called 
within  a  reasonable  tir^e  of  the  departure  of  their  trains,  except  in  case  of  emerg- 
ency. Such  callers  w.^i  be  proviaed  with  a  book  in  which  shall  be  entered  the 
leaving  time  of  the  traias.  Men  who  are  so  called  shall  in  each  instance  register 
their  names  with  the  time  they  are  called. 

The  above  does  not  includfe  men  who  are  assigned  to  regular  runs  whose  trains 
leave  during  the  day  time. 

1<).    If  a  trip  report  is  incorrect,  the  trainman  will  be  notified  in  writing. 

17.  Tr^nnmen  attending  court  under  instructions  from  the  company  will  be 
paid  full  rates  for  time  lost,  and  living  expenses  if  away  from  home;  the  company 
to  receive  the  witness  fees. 

18.  In  all  the  above  rules  where  pay  per  hour  or  per  day  is  mentioned,  it  refers

INTEKI'RETATION  OF  Rl'LES  OOVERXINO   PAY  OF  TRAINMEN    FOR   HEI-AVEn  AND  OVER- 
TIME. 

1.  "Reerular  freight  and  passenger  crews  making  extra  trips,  etc." 

Any  crew  making  an  e.xtra  passenger  trip  between  uoints  not  covered  by 
regular  passenger  schedule,  will  be  paid  on  the  basis  of  freight  train  rates.  The 
amount  so  paid  not  to  e.xceed  the  regular  passenger  rate,  as  fixed,  to  the  near- 
est schedule  point  beyond. 

As  some  of  the  divisions  have  no  schedule  for  individual  runs,  this  is  meant  to 
apply  as  well  to  divisions  over  which  there  is  a  regular  run,  paid  a  fixed  amount. 

Q.  Does  the  second  paragraph  of  Rule  1  cover  any  other  trains  than  those 
specifically  mentioned? 

A.    No. 

Q.  If  a  conductor  is  held  off  his  regular  run,  in  order  to  take  one  of  those 
specials,  does  he  receive  pay  for  the  time  while  being  held? 

A.  The  $3.00  minimum  specified  will  protect  him  from  the  time  he  is  held  off 
until  he  is  returned  to  duty  in  regular  service. 

2.  "Crews  regularly  assigned  to  construction  trains,  etc." 

Q.  Where  a  crew  on  a  construction  train  makes  a  run  of  two  or  three  hours 
before  beginning  a  day's  work,  or  after  a  day's  work  is  over  makes  a  run  to  wash 
out  engine  or  something  of  that  kind,  should  it  be  paid  at  freight  train  milea.ije 
rate  or  should  it  be  paid  as  overtime  over  the  twelve  hours  which  constitutes  a  con- 
struction train  day's  work,  and  be  paid  for  proportionately? 

A.    They  should  be  paid  overtime  at  construction  rates. 

Q.  Should  a  construction  crew,  if  prevented  from  working  on  account  of  bad 
weather,  be  paid? 

A.  Construction  crews,  when  held  over  at  regular  division  points  on  account 
of  bad  weather,  should  not  receive  pay.  When  held  away  from  division  points, 
they  should  get  regular  construction  rates. 

3.  "When  other  than  construction  trains  are  ordered  to  do  construction-train 
work,  etc." 

Q.  \yhen  a  way-train  does  construction  work,  say  for  two  hours,  but  comes 
into  terminal  on  time,  should  they  receive  pav  for  the  construction  work? 

A.    Yes. 

Q.  If  a  way-train  does  two  hours'  construction  work  and  comes  into  terminal 
four  hours  late,  should  the  crew  receive  pay  for  construction  work  and  also  for 
four  hours  delayed  time? 

A.  Construction  work  is  paid  for  as  delayed  time  and  should  not  be  paid  for  a 
second  time  under  any  circumstances;  exact  time  should  be  taken  and  any  con- 
struction work  between  stations  be  considered  as  such. 

Q.  If  a  way-train  does  two  hours  construction  work  and  has  an  "ahead  of 
time  order"  and  comes  into  terminal  one  hour  ahead  of  time,  should  they  receive 
pay  for  the  two  hours'  construction  work? 

A.    Yes. 

Q.  If  a  way-train  does  construction  work  during  a  run  at  four  places,  fifteen 
minutes  at  each  place,  should  crew  be  allowed  for  one  hour  construction  work  or 
should  they  receive  nothing? 

A.    A  total   of  the   whole   number  of  delays  should  be  counted  and  paid  for. 

4.  "Crews  delayed  one  hour  and  thirty-five  minutes  in  starting  from  or  arri- 
val at  terminals,  etc." 

Q.  If  conductor  registers  out,  but  engine  breaks  down 
the  yard  limits,  or  runs  off  a  switch,  or  a  wreck  blocks  the 
two  hours,  should  the  crew  be  paid  on  the  basis  of  delayed 

are   they   to   be  considered  as  on  the  road  and  the  run  timed  from  the  register; 
other  words,  is  the  delay  a  terminal  delay  or  a  running-time  delay? 

A.  Where  registers  are  used  trains  should  be  considered  as  on  the  road  after 
they  have  registered  out;  where  no  register  is  used,  they  should  be  considered  as 
on  ihe  road  atter  they  have  been  made  up  and  started  on  their  run. 

Q.  When  a  train  arrives  at  the  entrance  of  a  terminal  yard,  and  on  account  of 
the  yard  being  blocked  is  held  out,  or  for  any  other  reason  not  the  fault  of  the 
traihmen   the   train   is  held  out,  should  it  be  considered  as  having  arrived  when  it 


before  getting  out  of 
yard,  delaying  trains 
time   at   terminal,  or

reaches  the  yard  limits,  or  is  it  not  supposed  to  have  arrived  until  it  pulls  into  the 
yard? 

A.  A  train  is  supposed  to  have  arrived  when  it  is  stopped  at  the  yard  limits, 
and  delayed  time  is  to  be  counted  from  this  time  until  it  is  pulled  into  the  yard  and 
the  crew  relieved. 

7.    "Trainmen  deadheadin^i:  over  the  road  on  company  business,  etc." 

O.  Does  this  rule  n.ean  that  freiR;ht  crews  and  passenger  crews  deadheading 
on  passenRer  trains  shall  be  paid  one-half  their  rcRular  rates,  and  that  freight 
crews  and  passenger  crews  deadheading  on  freight  trains  shall  be  paid  their  full 
rates? 

A.    Yes. 

(J.  Does  the  work  performed  either  before  or  after  the  deadheading,  and  which 
necessitates  the  deadheading,  have  any  effect  on  the  pav?  Vor  example,  a  freight 
crew  takes  a  Knights  Templar  special  from  McCook  to  lienver  and  is  deadheaded 
back  to  McCook  on  passenger  train.  On  the  supposition  that  they  receive  passen- 
ger train  pay  t'o»r  the  service  trip  McCook  to  Denver,  should  they  receive  half  pas- 
senger-train rates  for  the  deadheading  trip  back  to  .McCook,  of  half  freight-train 
rates? 

A.  The  round  trip  should  be  considered  as  the  same  class  of  service,  and  it 
makes  no  difference  whether  the  service  which  li.xes  the  class  is  before  or  after  the 
(lead-heading,  and  it  makes  no  difference  whether  the  way  car  is  with  them  or  not. 

S.  "When  light  engines  or  trains  of  other  companies  are  run  on  main  line  and 
and  principal  branches,  a  conductor  will  be  sent  in  charge,  when  practicable,  who 
will  act  as  pilot." 

As  this  also  refers  to  trains  and  engines  of  other  companies,  it  is  thought  best 
to  ti\  the  rate  for  pilots  at  3  cents  per  mile,  and  the  regular  rates  for  returning  as 
per  Rule  7. 

'J.  "Should  a  train  be  compelled  to  double  a  hill,  crews  will  be  paid  for  one 
hour's  time  at  the  rate  of  30  cents  for  conductors  and  20  cents   for   brakemen." 

The  time  for  doubling  hill  is  delayed  time,  and  is  paid  for  as  delayed  time  at 
the  special  fixed  rate  and  should  not  be  paid  for  a  second  time  under  any  circum- 
stances. 

(J.  If  a  train  doubles  two  hills  and  reaches  terminal  on  time,  should  the  crew 
be  allowed  for  doubling? 

A.  Yes;  each  hill  doubled  should  be  paid  for  at  the  fixed  rate  and  if  one  hill 
is  doubled  twice,  two  hours  should  be  allowed,  the  same  as  though  two  hills  were 
doubled. 

U.  If  a  crew  reaches  terminal  an  hour  ahead  of  time  and  doubles  two  hills,  do 
the\~receive  pay  for  doubling;  in  other  words,  should  a  crew  always  be  paid  for 
doubling  regardless  of  the  time  of  arrival  at  terminal? 

A.     ves. 

14.  "When  crews  are  required  to  do  switching  at  terminal  stations,  they  will 
be  paid  for  such  switching  at  the  rate  of  30  cents  per  hour  for  conductors  and  20 
cents  for  brakemen  after  the  first  thirty-  minutes,  excepting  when  pay  is  ananged 
to  include  switching." 

In  a  turn-around  where  switching  is  done,  the  time  of  makinj;"  the  whole  trip  is 
to  be  treated  as  a  turn-around  and  no  time  for  switching  allowed,  unless  as  e.xtra 
tin.e  as  per  Rule  4,  second  paragraph,  and  "Single  or  turnaround  trips  of  50  miles 
or  less,  when  not  over  six  hours  are  consumed  in  the  trip,  to  be  counted  as  50 
miles,  and  the  crew  making  such  trip  shall  stand  first  out  on  arrival  at  terminal 
point." 

O.  At  points  where  switching  is  allowed,  is  the  first  30  minutes  to  be  paid 
for?~ 

A.  Switching  at  terminal  where  it  has  been  arranged  to  pay  for  switching,  the 
full  time  is  to  be  paid  them,  if  the  time  of  the  switching  exceeds  30  minutes;  if 
less  than  30  minutes  nothing  is  to  be  paid  them,  if  over  3i)  minutes  one  hour  is  to 
be  paid  them. 

13.    "W'here  callers  are  furnished  bj'  the  company,  etc." 

On  the  B.  &  M.,  as  at  Alliance,  no  callers  are  used,  and  a  fast  train,  Xo.  45, 
running  through  there  in  the  night,  is  frequently  late.  The  men,  under  the  pres- 
ent arrangement,  are  supposed  to  get  out  and  be  on  hand  at  the  time  the  train  is 
due,  and  frequently  they  have  to  wait  several  hours.  The  question  is,  should  they 
be  allowed  delayed' time?  As  there  appears  to  be  no  other  similar  case  to  this  oh 
the  system,  it  is  suggested  that  some  arrangement  be  made  at  Alliance  for  notify- 
ing the  crew  of  this  train  when  their  train  is  expected  in.  Arrangements  should 
be  nKide  to  call  crews  in  such  cases. 

_  17.  "Trainmen  attending  court  under  instructions  from  the  company  will  be 
paid  full  rates  for  the  time  lost,  and  living  expenses  if  away  from  home;  the  com- 
pany to  receive  the  witness  fees."

Q.  Under  this  rule  are  men  to  be  paid  from  the  time  they  are  taken  off 
their  run  until  the  time  they  take  their  run  again,  and  what  is  meant  by  "full 
rates?" 

A.  Trainmen  attending  court  should  be  allowed  time  that  would  have  been 
made  by  them  had  they  remained  on  their  run;  in  other  words,  the  time  their  way 
car  made,  if  on  freight. 

Q.  If  it  so  happens  that  men  are  kept  on  court  duty  for  several  hours,  but 
lose  no  time  on  their  run,  what  are  they  to  be  paid? 

A.  If  no  time  was  lost  and  no  additional  money  paid  them  by  the  company, 
they  will  be  allowed  their  witness  fees  only. 

18.  "A  conductor  is  of  the  first  class  when  he  has  served  as  such  six  months 
or  over,  etc." 

Should  a  freight  conductor,  owing  to  light  business,  be  reduced  to  brakeman, 
he  will  receive  full  rate  brakeman's  pay  and  when  again  re-instated  as  conductor 
it  will  be  in  the  class  he  was  in  when  reduced  to  brakeman.

NEW  YORK,  ONTARIO  &  WESTERN  RAILWAY  COMPANY, 


Rules  and  regulations  relative  to  train  and  yard  service. 

It  is  the  purpose  of  the  following  rules  to  institute  a  consistent  system  of  pro- 
motion and  to  give  preference  to  men  of  i  perience  now  in  ihe  service,*  but  the 
officers  of  this  company  may  at  any  time  fill  any  vacancy  by  appointment  or  selec- 
tion, or  employ  men  in  any  capacity  whenever  they  deem  it  necessary  or  desirable. 

1.  Seniority  will  be  the  rule  for  promotion  or  advancement  in  the  train  service 
when  merited  by  faithful  discharge  of  duty  and  when  the  emploj'e  has  shown  ca- 
pacity for  increased  responsibility. 

2.  The  order  of  promotion  will  be:  (1)  Trainman  to  train  baggagemaster,  or 
rta^man.  (2)  Flagman  to  yard  conductor,  or  freight  conductor.  (3)  Freight 
conductor  to  milk  train,  or  passenger  conductor. 

3.  A  record  or  lineal  list  of  all  employes  in  the  train  or  yard  service  will  be 
kept  which  will  be  accessible  at  any  time  to  any  employe  whose  name  is  on  such 
record. 

4.  No  distinction  will  be  made  between  the  road  and  yard  service  as  to  rights, 
except  as  to  yardmen  at  Middletown,  and  provided  that  yard  conductors  and  yard- 
men who  have  not  served  on  the  road  within  one  year  will  not  be  elgible  to'  pro- 
motion from  the  yard  to  the  road  service  until  they  have  again  served  in  the  next 
lower  grade  a  sufficient  time  to  become  familiar  with  its  duties;  and  provided, 
also,  that  the  consecutive  order  of  promotion  specified  above  is  observed. 

5.  The  trainman,  flagman,  or  conductor  in  the  order  of  his  seniority,  will  be 
promoted  according  to  his  ability,  which  will  be  determined  by  examination. 

Any  employe  failing  to  pass  the  first  examination  may  have  a  second  examina- 
tion, and  failing  in  that  shall  go  behind  all  others  in  his  grade  of  the  service. 

Examination  should  be  on  the  following  subjects:  Book  of  rules,  special  rules 
and  current  time-tables,  physical  characteristics  of  the  road,  stations,  switches, 
crossings,  etc.,  train  reports  and  train  appliances. 

An  employe  in  the  train  service  before  being  promoted  will  be  required  to  have 
a  certificate  from  one  of  the  company's  medical  examiners  to  the  eflfect  that  he  has 
no  defects  of  hearing  or  eyesight,  or  other  physical  disabilities  which  will  inca- 
pacitate him  for  such  service. 

6.  Vacancies  as  they  occur  in  the  positions  of  conductors;  flagmen;  train  bag- 
gagemasters,  all  service;  and  trainmen,  regular  service;  yard  conductors  and  yard- 
men, will  be  advertised  by  bulletin  for  ten  (10)  days. 

Vacancies  in  the  position  of  yardmaster  will  generally  be  filled  by  appointment 
and  any  employe  accepting  such  a  position  will  not  lose  any  rights  he  may  have 
had  in  the  train  service  at  the  date  of  such  appointment. 

7.  Nc  employe  will  be  suspended  without  cause  or  discharged  without  a  hear- 
ing or  investigation  which  will  be  given  promptly. 

Employes  when  discharged  or  suspended  will  receive  due  notice  to  that  effect 
within  a  reasonable  time  after  investigation. 

Any  employe  who  may  have  been  suspended  and  afterwards  found  blameless 
will  receive  pay  for  the  time  lost. 

8.  Employes  will  be  granted  leave  of  absence  on  their  request  as  soon  as 
practicable  whenever  they  wish  to  appeal  to  any  officer  of  the  company,  and  the  right 
of  appeal  to  any  officer  is  accorded  to  all  employes. 

Leave  of  absence  should  be  limited  to  sixty  days,  except  in  case  of  sick- 
ness or  other  disability,  and  may  be  extended  at  the  discretion  of  the  superin- 
tendent. 

Any  employe  who  has  been  in  the  service  three  months  will,  upon  leaving,  re-

and  overtime  will  be  allowed  for  each  hour  after  twelve  hours  continuous  service 
at  one-tenth  the  rate  per  day. 

Overtime  on  turn-aroun  J  runs  will  be  computed  from  the  time  required  to  be

of  ten  miles  per  hour. 

Less  than  thirty  minutes  will  not  be  considered,  and  over  thirty  minutes  will

Train  crews  when  called  for  duty  and  if  held  under  orders  for  not  more  than 
six  hours  shall  receive  one-half  day;  for  more  than  six  hours,  one  day. 

Train  crews  will  receive  actual  mileage  for  all  miles  made  in  doubling  when 
the  total  mileage  made  exceeds  the  constructive  mileage  allowed  for  the  run. 

The  rates,  runs  and  time  allowance  in  the  regular  and  extra  freight  service  and 
mine  runs,  are  shown  under  schedule  D;  the  way  freight  service  in  schedule  E; 
and  the  vard  service  in  schedule  F. 

12.  Time  slips  covering  overtime  or  special  service«will  be  sent  to  the  super- 
intendent for  approval  and  check  and  sent  by  him  to  the  time  clerk,  and  employes 
notified  when  such  slips  are  not  approved. 

Employes  attending  court  or  other  business  of  the  company  by  order  of  the 
superintendent  will  be  allowed  their  regular  rates  of  pay;  and  when  deadheading, 
half  pay. 

Flagmen,  trainmen  or  train  baggagemen,  when  allowed  to  sign  train  orders 
and  in  charge  of  the  train  will  be  allowed  conductor's  pay. 

The  extra  time  will  be  divided  as  far  as  practicable  among  the  extra  men,  and 
no  more  men  will  be  retained  in  the  train  service  than  necessary  to  do  the  work. 

It  is  the  policy  of  the  company  to  furnish  employment  for  disabled  employes  at 
such  work  as  they  may  perform  without  danger  to  public  safety  or  the  company's 
property.

five  days  from  the  time  his  report  is  rendered,  if  possible,  at  which  hearing  he 
shall  have  the  right  to  be  present  during  the  examination  of  all  witnesses,  and, 
also,  he  may  have  another  trainman  of  his  own  selection  to  appear  with  him  and 
to  speak  for  him;  and  shall  have  the  right  to  appeal  from  the  decision  of  the  local 
to  the  general  ofl'icers  of  the  road,  and  a  decision  from  them  within  five  days,  or 
as  soon  thereafter  as  convenient;  and  in  case  his  suspension  or  discharge  is 
deemed  to  have  been  unjust,  he  shall  be  reinstated  and  shall  be  paid  full  time  for 
all  time  lost  at  100  miles  per  day. 

2.  No  fines  shall  be  imposed  upon  trainmen  for  loss  or  damage  to  property  or 
rolling  stock  or  for  killing  or  injuring  live  stock;  but  if  such  do  occur  and  it  be

no  rights  on  passenger  trains.  Nothing  in  this  article  shall  be  construed  as  pre- 
venting the  company  from  employing  experienced  trainmen  when  the  good  of  the 
service  requires  it. 

4.  All  trainmen  not  assigned  to  regular  runs  shall  run  first  in  and  first  out  as

Dear  Sir: 

Referring  to  the  schedule  submitted  to  me  on  May  11th,  1897  by  yourself 
[and  four  others  as  a  committee  of  switchmen,  I  beg  leave  to  advise  as  follows: 

Our  general  manager  has  decided  that  inasmuch  as  no  schedule  with  the 
Iswitchmen  of  this  road  has  heretofore  existed,  that  none  is  desired  by  the  company 
jat  this  time.  It  being  considered  best  that  these  matters  be  adjusted  from  time  to 
jtime  as  conditions  may  warrant,  and  what  may  at  such  times  seem  just  and  fair  to 
|all  concerned.  However,  the  rates  of  pay  are  changed  and  the  following  rates  will 
Ibe  in  effect  on  and  after  June  1st,  1897.

Cincinnati,  O.,  Jan.  29th,  1892. 
The  following  instructions  will  govern  all  officers  in  the  service  of  the  above 
conipanv  in  the  discipline  and  control  of  trainmen  in  their  em])loy : 

1.  Overtime  will  be  allowed  trainmen  when  the  schedule  time  of  the  train  has 
been  exceeded  two  hours  or  more.  When  schedule  time  has  been  exceeded 
two  hours  or  more,  the  first  two  hours  will  be  included;  after  the  schedule 
has  been  exceeded  two  hours  or  more,  all  fractional  parts  of  an  hour  over 
thirty  minutes  will  be  counted  a  full  hour;  fractional  parts  of  an  hour  less  than 
thirty  minutes  will  not  be  co:  nted. 

Crews  of  work  trains  will  oe  allowed  overtime  for  all  time  on  duty  in  excess  of 
twelve  hours  per  day.  Fractional  parts  of  an  hour  of  more  than  thirtf  minutes 
will  be  counted  as  a  full  hour,  fractional  parts  of  less  than  thirty  minutes 
will  not  be  counted. 

Time  of  extra  trains  will  be  computed  from  the  longest  schedule  time  of  trains 
of  same  class  on  current  time  table. 

On  all  trains  delayed  time  will  be  paid  for  at  the  rate  of  30  cents  per  hour  for 
conductors,  and  18  cents  per  hour  for  trainmen. 

Yard  delayed  time  at  terminals  will  be  allowed  after  the  train  has  been  delayed 
in  the  yard  thirty  minutes  or  more,  and  when  delayed  immediately  outside  of  the 
yard  limit  board  at  the  rate  of  30  cents  per  hour  for  conductors,  and  18  cents  per 
hour  for  brakemen  for  each  hour  or  fractional  part  of  an  hour  in  excess  of  thirty 
minutes. 

2.  In  case  a  trainman  believes  his  suspension  or  discharge  to  have  been  un- 
just, he  shall,  within  thirty  days  after  such  suspension  or  discharge,  make  a 
written  statement  of  the  facts  in  the  case  and  submit  it  through  the  trainmaster  to 
the  superintendent  of  the  division  on  which  he  was  employed  and  the  latter  will, 
as  soon  as  practicable,  make  a  thorough  investig'ation  of  the  matter;  if  such  state- 
ment be  not  submitted  within  thirty  days  it  will  not  be  considered.  If  the  sus- 
pension or  discharge  be  found  to  have  been  unjust,  the  trainman  will  be  reinstated 
and  will  be  paid  for  time  lost. 

Employes  will  have  '•ight  of  appeal  to  the  general  manager. 

3.  Trainmen  will  be  called  not  to  exceed  one  hour  before  the  leaving  time  of 
their  trains.  The  time  of  trainmen  will  begin  one  hovir  after  they  have  signed  the 
caller's  book.  The  caller  will  be  furnished  with  a  book  showing  the  time  the  men 
are  calleu  and  the  time  the  train  leav'es,  which  book  will  be  signed  by  the  men. 
Failing  to  respond  promptly,  whether  it  be  his  turn  out  or  not,  the  p  •*v  at  fault 
will  be  suspended  or  discharged  at  the  discretion  of  the  trainmaster  or  super- 
intendant.  Whtn  trainmen  are  called  to  go  out  and  the  train  is  afterward  annulled,

time  will  begin  one  hour  from  the  time  they  are  first  called.  Trainmen  thus  called 
wid  be  first  out,  provided  it  does  not  interfere  with  the  men  who  have  r  'fgular 
runs. 

4.  Crew^  assigned  to  regular  runs  will  be  paid  extra  for  services  rendered 
outside  of  their  regular  runs  at  regular  rates  for  class  ""f  service  performed.

boose will  be  allowed  through  freight  pay. 

7.  When  a  man  is  traveling  over  the  road  for  the  purpose  of  relieving  a  man

distance  traveled. 

8.  Trainmen  of  wrecking  trains  will  be  paid  thirty-five  cents  per  hour  or  frac- 
tion thereof  in  excess  of  thirty  minutes  for  conductors,  and  twenty  cents  per  hour 
or  fraction  thereof  in  excess  of  thirty  minute«  for  brakemen,  time  to  be  computed 
from  time  train  starts  or  one  hour  after  the  men  are  called  until  they  are  relieved 
from  wrecking  duty.  In  case  the  train  is  laid  up  m  order  to  give  the  men  nec- 
essarv  time  to  rest  and  sleep,  such  portion  of  time  will  be  deducted  from  the 
whole  and  only  the  actual  time  on  duty  will  be  paid  for.  A  minimum  of  six  hours 
will  be  allowed,  but  no  mileage  paid. 

'J.  When  time  is  not  allowed  as  per  time-slip,  trainmen  will  be  advised  of  the 
amount  allowed.

passenger  trainmen.

hours  rest  before  being  called  to  go  out,  if  they  so  desire,  and  give  notice  thereof 
except  in  case  of  wrecks,  \vashouts,  and  other  einergencies. 

12.  When  freight  traffic  is  so  light  that  all  the  freight  crews  in  the  service  are 
not  able  to  make  reasonable  wages,  crews  will  be  laid  olf,  beginning  with  the 
youngest  men  in  the  service,  until  the  crews  that  remain  can  make  reasonable 
wages.  Trainmen  suspended  from  service  under  this  rule  will  be  given  preference 
when  the  business  of  the  road  is  better. 

13.  Crews  will  not  be  required  to  run  off  their  respective  divisions  except 
when,  in  the  opinion  of  the  officers,  the  emergencies  of  the  service  require  it.

has  been  done  him.

superintendent  of  transportation  to  be  the  judge  as  to  qualifications.  Nothing  in

any  other  employe  of  the  same  grade  of  his  notice.  In  case  he  shall  not  be  satisfiea 
with  the  result  of  said  investigation,  he  shall  have  the  right  to  appeal  to  the  gen- 
eral manager  whose  decision  shall  be  final.  In  case  the  suspension  or  dismissal  is 
found  to  be  unjust,  he  shall  be  promptly  reinstated  and  paid  for  time  lost. 

(3.  It  is  hereby  understood  to  be  the  duty  of  conductors  to  file  charges  in  writ- 
ing against  any  unreliable  or  unsafe  brakeman  that  may  have  been  assigned  to 
them,  and  in  the  interest  of  retaining  in  the  service  the  best  men,  it  shall  be  the 
duty  of  such  superior  officers  to  promptly  investigate,  and  if  the  charges  preferred 
are  found  correct,  such  brakeman  is  not  to  be  transferred  to  another  crew  but 
promptly  dismissed. 

7.  In  the  event  of  there  being  a  surplus  of  crews,  and  it  becomes  necessary  to

where,  in  the  judgment  of  the  superintendent  of  transportation,  for  good  reasons 
which  will  be  made  known  upon  application,  younger  men  in  the  service  are  con- 
sidered more  reliable  and  efficient,  it  being  the  intention  to  retain  the  most  cap- 
able men  in  the  service.  Conductors  retired  by  reason  of  reduction  in  crews,  shall 
have  preference  in  employment  as  brakemen. 

8.  Trainmen  attending  court  at  the  request  of  the  company,  shall  be  allowed 
full  time  with  necessary  expenses  while  away  from  home,  the  same  not  to  exceed

It  is  hereby  agreed  in  relation  to  turn-around  trips:  If  a  crew  goes  to  Kennedy, 
or  other  turn-around  trips,  and  Switches  for  twenty-hve  minutes,  and  the  conductor 
applies  for  orders  at  the  end  of  twenty-five  minutes,  and  gets  them  at  once,  they 
will  get  no  delay  time.  If  he  has  to  wait  five  minutes  for  his  orders,  and  it  is 
thirty  minutes  from  the  time  he  got  to  Kennedy  until  he  gets  his  orders,  he  will 
get  one  hour.  If  he  has  to  lay  there  six  hours  wailing  for  his  orders,  he  will  get 
only  one  hour  delay  time  at  that  turn-around  point;  the  balance,  the  other  hve 
hours,  will  go  toward  calculating  his  overtime  on  the  ten-mile  basis.  The  above 
does  not  apply  to  local  trains.  P.  A.  O'CONNOR.

San  Antonio,  Texas.  Dec.  14.  1894. 
P.  A.  O'Connor,  Esq.,  Chairman. 

Dear  Sir:— Confirming  the  agreements  made  by  me  yesterday,  add  the  follow- 
ing amendments  to  our  contract  with  train  men: 

1.  That  at  Waco,  Cameron,  Yoakum.  Houston,  Alice,  Skidmore,  Corpus 
Christi,  and  San  Antonio,  brakemen  for  all  trains  for  w^hich  said  points  are  a  ter- 
minal, shall  be  paid  26  cents  per  hour  for  making  up  and  pitting  away  their  train, 
while  conductors  shall  be  paid  30  cents  per  hour  tor  like  seirice.  An  allowance  of 
one  hour  will  be  made  if  any  yard  work  is  done,  and  if  tk^  work  should  take  an 
hour  and  twenty-nine  minutes  the  allowance  shall  be  two  hours.  No  yard  work 
to  be  paid  for  where  yard  crews  are  on  duty,  except  on  the  orders  from  the  assis- 
tant superintendent  of  transportation. 

2.  And  I  further  agree  that,  having  come  to  the  conclusion  that  local  runs  be- 
tween Yoakum  and  Waco,  and  Yoakum  and  Alice,  are  too  long,  both  for  the 
interests  of  the  employes  and  the  company,  I  shall  not  put  them  on  again.  Taking 
the  position,  however,  that  the  manner  of  arranging  runs  is  something  which 
must  be  left  to  myself  alone,  so  long  as  the  agreed  rate  of  pay  and  sufficient  rest 
is  allowed. 

Regarding  switching  in  joint  yards,  would  state  that  same  is  not  done  except 
on  compulsion,  as  Wfe  being  the  last  road  into  all  these  points,  all  seed  houses, 
gins,  etc.,  are  located  oflE  our  line,  and  to  secure  business,  we  are  often  compelled 
to  do  work  that  is  as  distasteful  to  the  company  as  to  the  trainmen,  and  as  al- 
lowance on  all  schedules  is  made  for  such  work,  you  are  indirectly  paid  for  it; 
while  the  company  is  out  the  cost  of  fuel  and  damage  to  rolling  stock,  and  liable 
to  connecting  line  for  all  damages,  and,  in  some  cases,  bave  to  pay  trackage.  It 
amounts  to  this:  That  if  any  additional  expense  is  put  on  us  at  such  points  we 
will  simply  have  to  let  the  business  go,  and  as  you  are  as  much  interested  in  good 
business  as  the  company,  think  you  should  put  up  with  these  inconveniences,  with 
the  hope  that  in  the  future  we  will  be  able  to  so  improve  our  facilities  that  we  can 
do  a  little  dictating  to  connecting  lines  ourselves.    Yours  trulv, 

R.  H.  INNES, 
Superintendent  Transportation.

Mr.  P.  H.  MoRRissEY, 

Grand  Master,  B.  of  R.  T.,  Cleveland,  Ohio. 
Dear  Sir:— Yours  of  May  lOih.    Enclosed  please  find  copy  of  instructions  to 
officials  in  regard  to  handling  yard  men.    The  rate  of  pay,  I  will  state,  is  25  cents 
and  27  cents  per  hour  for  day  and  night  switchmen  respectively,  and  27  cents  and 
29  cents  per  hour  for  day  and  night  foremen  respectively.

openings  offer.  If  assignments  as  mide  are  declined,  the  trainman  so  declining  will 
lose  the  right  which  seniority  gives  him  to  the  run  he  has  declined  until  it  shall 
again  be  v^arant.  or  until  its  terminals  are  changed  and  the  next  man  in  the  order  of 
seniority  will  be  placed  in  position  for  examination  and  promotion 

All  men  entering  the  service  for  the  first  time,  as  well  as  those  who  have  left  the 
service  of  this  system,  or  have  been  dismissed,  v?tll,  if  re-employed,  be  placed  at  the 
foot  of  their  respective  classes  and  treated  exactly  in  accordance  with  the  precediug 
clause  of  this  article. 

Exceptions  will  be  made  to  this  only  in  special  cases,  where  an  nnderstanding  in 
writing  is  had  with  an  employe  at  the  time  of  leaving  service,  that  will  provide  for 
his  return.  This  permission  will  be  granted  only  to  those  who,  by  thetr  lonj^  years 
of  service  and  loyalty  to  the  company's  interests,  may  be  entitled  to  special  con- 
sideration. 

Seniority  will  govern  in  choice  of  itins,  but  men  will  not  be  allowed  to  change 
runs  wi'h  the  same  class,  excepting  in  cases  of  vacancy, 

Seniority  of  switchmen  shall  govern  only  so  long  as  they  remain  in  switching  an 
yard  service.  When  a  switchman  is  promoted  to  train  service,  he  will  commence  as 
a  ntw  man  in  such  .service. 

In  case  of  a  surplus  of  men  the  younger  men  .shall  be  set  b::ck  The  same  rules 
which  govern  promotion  will  govern  such  set  backs. 

All  vacant  runs  shall  be  bulletined  at  terminal  points  at  least  ten  days  priot  to 
assignment. 

14.  When  nien  in  train  service  are  charged  with  any  offense,  they  shall  be  given 
a  fair  and  impartial  trial  before  being  di.sciplined,  and  within  a  reasonable  titae, 
which  shall  not  ex  eed  ten  days.  When  held  off  to  attend  investigations  if  exon- 
erated from  all  blame,  full  time  shall  be  allov^ed  for  the  time  idle.  When  the  decision 
rendered  is  not  satisfactory,  an  appeal  may  be  made  to  the  general  manager  within 
ten  da\s  after  the  decision  has  been  rendered,  at  which  time  an  ass'xriate  may  be 
selected  to  aid  him,  and  the  decision  of  the  president  shall  be  final.  No  pay  will  be 
allowed  the  asso«  iate  '  hile  thus  employed,

Schedule  governing  pay  of  employes  in  train  service,  effective  January  1,  1900. 

1.  Nothing  herein  contained  shall  be  held  to  contradict  or  nullify  the  trans- 
portation rules  of  the  company. 

2.  Conductors  of  passenger  trains  will  be  paid  at  the  rate  of  $125  per  month. 
Train  baggagemen  acting  exclusively  in  that  capacity  will  be  paid  at  the  rate  of 
$70  per  month.  Brakemen  on  passenger  trains  will  be  paid  at  the  rate  of  $55  per 
month  for  the  first  year's  service,  if  inexperienced.  After  one  year's  experience  as 
brakeman  in  either  freight  or  passenger  train  service,  on  this  or  any  other  steam 
railway,  they  will  be  paid  at  the  rate  of  $60  per  month. 

Conductors  and  brakemen  of  passenger  trains  and  train  baggagemen  will  not 
be  paid  overtime  while  on  their  regular  runs;  but  if  extra  runs  are  made  by  them 
on  lay-over  days  they  will  be  paid  for  same  pro  rata  on  above  basis. 

3.  Conductors  of  freight  and  mixed  trains  will  be  paid  at  the  rate  of  thirty 
cents  and  brakemen  of  freight  and  mixed  trains  twenty  cents  per  hour,  except

Rule  17. 

Unless  assigned  by  superintendent  to  particular  runs  or  service,  trainmen  will 
run  "first  in  first  out." 

When  called  for  service  they  will  receive  not  less  than  ten  hours  pay,  unless

in  which  case  thev  will  receive  five  hours  pay,  and  stand  first  out. 

A  run  of  ten  miles  shall  be  considered  the  equivalent  of  one  hour's  work,  and 
in  computing  time  of  trainmen  under  this  rule,  the  terms  "one  hour"  and  "ten 
miles"  are  interchangeable,  except  as  hereinafter  provided.  Time  consumed  doing 
work  at  terminals  not  connected  with  their  own  trains  will  be  paid  for  in  addition 
to  pay  for  trip. 

On  runs  of  less  than  100  miles,  if  made  in  less  than  ten  hours,  trainmen  maybe 
required  to  perform  terminal  or  other  woi  k  in  order  to  give  an  equivalent  for  the 
balance  of  the  ten  hours'  service. 

The  general  intent  of  this  rule  is  that  trainmen  shall  receive  the  maximum 
allowance  for  their  work  computed  in  hours  or  tens  of  miles  run;  but,  except  where, 
under  this  article,  allowance  is  to  be  made  for  terminal  work,  time  must  be  com-

any  combination  of  hours  and  miles. 

The  time  of  conductors  and  brakemen  on  freight  and  mixed  trains  will  com- 
mence at  the  hour  for  which  they  are  called,  and  will  end  (except  where  terminal 
woik  is  performed)  at  the  time  designated  on  the  conductors'  register  as  arriving 
time  at  the  end  of  run. 

At  main  line  terminals,  trainmen  will  be  called  within  one  mile  of  register  office.

at  registering  point. 

4.  Conductors  and  brakemen  on  work  trains  will  be  paid  as  per  Rule  3,  except 
that  while  assigned  to  such  service  they  are  guaranteed  a  minimum  of  ten  hours 
pay  for  every  calendar  day. 

When  work  train  crews  are  required  to  move  their  trains  at  night,  after  having 
completed  the  day  and  work  pertaining  thereto,  they  will  be  paid  actual  mileage 
at  freight  train  rates  for  such  movements. 

Trainmen  will  not  be  required  to  handle  cable  or  side-t-^ards,  except  in  cases 
of  emergency. 

5.  Conductors  and  brakemen  assigned  to  snow  plow  service  will  be  allowed 
ten  hours'  time  for  each  24  hours  held  in  readiness. 

When  in  actual  service  bucking  snow,  conductors  will  be  paid  thirty-five  cents 
per  hour  and  brakemen  twenty-five  cents  per  hour,  computed  as  per  Rule  3. 

6.  When  mixed  and  freight  train  conductors  and  brakemen  are  held  from  their 
ordinary  runs  or  service,  for  special  service,  or  otherwise  for  fhe  company's  con- 
venience*  tbe«r  pay,  tjndl  tko  ret^ra  VO  tlvelr  ordinary  run  or  seryicOi  will  not  be

occurred. 

7.  Conductors  attending-  court  in  behalf  of  the  company  shall  receive  $.5  and-

on  company's  business. 

Freight  crews  deadheading  with  their  cabooses  to  equalize  power  and  crews, 
will  be  allowed  half  actual  mileage.  Of  the  two  crews  on  same  train,  the  crew 
deadheading  will  stand  first  out. 

9.  Leave  of  absence  will  not  in  any  case  exceed  six  months,  except  in  event  of

the  service  of  the  company  on  their  respective  divisions  as  conductors  or  brake- 
men.  A  record  of  such  age  will  be  kept  in  the  office  of  the  superintendent,  and 
trainmen  may  examine  same  at  any  time. 

The  oldest  conductors  and  brakemen  will  have  the  choice  of  runs,  subject  to 
the  provisions  of  Rule  16.  Any  man  declining  a  run  must  do  so  in  writing,  and 
will  forfeit  all  right  to  such  run  to  the  man  accepting  it,  and  to  him  only.  A  man 
accepting  such  a  run  (after  older  men  have  declined  it)  shall  not  hold  it,  if  it  becomes 
his  turn  to  be  reduced  to  other  service  when  the  business  of  the  company  demands 
a  reduction  of  force. 

When  any  transfer  of  tracks  is  made  from  one  division  to  another,  the  superin- 
tendents of  the  divisions  affected  will  agree  as  to  the  number  of  crews  required  to 
operate  the  tracks  so  transferred,  whereupon  passenger  and  freight  crews,  to  the 
number  so  agreed  upon,  will  be  given  (according  to  age  in  service)  the  option  of 
transfer  to  the  division  acquiring  such  additional  tracks.  The  men  electing  to  be 
transferred  under  this  rule  will  take  rank  as  new  men  in  the  respective  branches 
of  service  to  which  they  are  assigned  when  transferred. 

11.  Conductors  and  brakemen  leaving  the  service  of  the  company,  will  be  paid 
in  full  at  the  earliest  practicable  time;  and  if  in  good  standing  will,  upon  applica- 
tion, be  given  an  official  service  letter. 

12.  Conductors  will  be  promptly  notified  when  time  claimed  is  not  allowed, 
and  reasons  given. 

13.  Men  on  employes'  committee  will  be  given  sufficient  leave  of  absence  by 
giving  timely  notice  to  superintendent. 

14.  Division  superintendent  will  see  that  trainmen  have  full  opportunity  for 
pi'oper  rest. 

After  fourteen  hours'  continuous  service  trainmen  may,  after  reaching  termi- 
nal, call  for  and  will  be  allowed  eight  hours'  rest  before  being  called  out,  except 
in  cases  of  emergency. 

15.  Freight  conductors  or  brakemen  handling  regular  passenger  trains  will  be 
paid  passenger  train  rates,  and  for  handling  special  trains  or  empty  passenger 
train  equipment  they  will  be  paid  freight  train  rates.

the  regularity  of  the  hours  of  this  service,  the  freedom  from  the  responsibilities  of

ten  hours  instead  of  twelve  constitute  a  full  compensation  for  the  difference  in  the
